In Short – Family-style portions and red-checkered tablecloths create a casual, congenial vibe, drawing families and large groups to this feast of Italian-American nostalgia set to a Sinatra soundtrack. The made-from-scratch menu is brimming with traditional dishes, from starters like fried calamari, Parmesan garlic bread and Tuscan-style mussels to spaghetti with meatballs and manicotti with chicken and spinach. For those with room to spare, a piece of sweet tiramisu and a strong cappuccino help finish the meal.

Huge portions

by bronstct

Greaty Pizza and Pasta. Portions are to large sometimes become intiminating. Everytime I pick up they are pretty much on time. Like every restraunt their are times I have to wait longer even though they told me 30 minutes. Over all the service is good, and the food is good.

  • Pros: Great Pasta
  • Cons: Portions are too Big
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Be sure to make a reservation

by kelbunny

We made a reservation for 7:30, and we're so glad we did. When we got there (granted, it was a saturday night), the place was packed. The hostess quoted people at a two hour wait. Once we were seated, the food was excellent. The server was very attentive, the portions were great as well. We split an entree and took home leftovers. Overall a good value for the money and will definitely visit again!

  • Pros: food
  • Cons: parking

by Levent34

Service was good but the food were not. We ordered 16 oz NY steak ($36) it was $36 mistake, you expect a juice, grilled steak but we ended up with pre cooked testeless steak, mozerella with marinara souce (2x2) fried cheese did not taste good at all, and shrimp with bread crums (stay away) testeless pool grown shrimp.
