You would think when one runs a business they would welcome their customers and treat them with respect.
Owners are very rude.
I felt like I was bothering the owners when I went to the counter and asked for help since our waitress was MIA.
Will never be back!
We tried this place twice and nothing has changed.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mickey C.New York, NY151301389Nov 26, 2023
The bread comes out hot from the oven. Crispy crust and hot moist doughy center. Best bread!
Mussels with champagne sauce: I've heard of mussels with white wine sauce but never with champagne sauce. The mussels were big and juicy.
The fusilli is homemade. Definitely get that. I had mine with bolognese sauce. The pasta was cooked to perfection.
My brother-in-law finished his whole plate of seafood scampi. Nothing was left. Portions are pretty good. The rest of us couldn't finish our meal.
Veal Parmesan. Veal had a bite to it. The meat was pounded thin. The sauce is delicious.
Our server, Julia, is a doll. Very hard working. She was seating people, taking orders, answering phones, bringing our food over--all with a smile. It's hard to find good people that work like her. She's a keeper.
I had mentioned that I loved the bread. I got extra bread when I had my food packed. I was so happy!
We will definitely be back. It's worth the drive. And we found a parking spot right in front of the restaurant.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Anne M.Everett, MA062Feb 15, 2024
We love this place. Last night we went for Valentine's Day and it was spectacular. The calamari was fresh and well seasoned, the warm homemade bread is AMAZING! I got the chicken piccata and my husband got the chicken parm. The portions are enormous and super fresh and so so tasty. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the staff , even though spectacularly busy, was attentive and helping each other out with tables. For the quality and quantity of food the prices can't be beat. The ONLY downside was the chill from sitting by the window, it was pretty chilly, but that didn't ruin anything for us!

First time there because of a conference nearby. Food was really good. Seafood was so fresh, everything was cooked to perfection, including the calamari. The bread they serve is one of the best I've eaten in a restaurant. Julia waited on us so attentive and with great care. The place felt upscale enough and the best prices.

Food is excellent but wish they had later hours as I work late . Restaurant is clean and staff is friendly and on point for serving

You can't go wrong for delicious Italian food. Had eggplant parm today friend ordered pumpkin ravioli fresh warm bread and pasta Fagoli. A gem. Great service and atmosphere. Same owners over 30 years.

Everything tastes light and flavorful without that heavy weighed down too much sauce, oily, etc. You will love everything including their fresh baked bread in their own brick oven. The wine list is excellent and prices have a range for everyone. I come back again and again for the eggplant part. which is light and fluffy and flavorful. This restaurant is sooo underrated. You can come here for lunch for under 20.00 easily with a great panini, salad or pasta dish. Service is spot on.
I am stingy with my stars to rate, but this is good as it gets in this price range for taste, quality of ingredients, presentation and service. - Cyndi M.Everett, MA172Sep 21, 2023
I wished I had maybe ordered a more costly dish, sadly , for my Steak and cheese calzone was 90percent dough 10 percent Steak and cheese unfortunately so I basically had few bites and threw the rest of the order out, now onto the Chicken Minestrone Soup, even though food was nice and warm the Chicken is actually chicken Crumbles??? I have never eaten or even seen this type of Chicken minestrone nor will I ever order from this restaurant again, however if you do there seems to be other food choices which may offer more in value and actual ingredients, No thank you.

Sat down to eat and saw roaches in the corner of our table and on the floor. Got up and immediately left. Absolutely disgusting. Called to tell them after we left asked to speak to manager and he hung up on us.

Great food, great service! Menu is pretty big so there's enough options to choose from for whatever you're craving. I decided to be basic and get the chicken broccoli Alfredo. I have never been served a larger portion of pasta from any restaurant until I came here!!! It was very tasty (although I prefer quality over quantity), but the Alfredo sauce could have been a bit more flavorful; some more salt would have done it. You may think it's pricey until you get served because my plate was enough for 3 meals! Everyone I was with loved their meals as well and would order them again. We ordered some cannolis for dessert and they looked homemade!! This is a cute place for a date! I will be back.

If I could choose less than one star I would. The ravioli were obviously frozen and not cooked all the way through. Then whoever made the pizza either thought it was funny or had never made a pizza in their entire life as all the toppings were separate but still on the pizza. And this is supposed to be one of their signature pizzas. Never ever again.
