When we walked in, a kind gentleman warmly greeted us and seated us right away--a great start. As soon as we sat down, complimentary warm bread with butter was served, which was a nice touch. Throughout the meal, the bus team was attentive and courteous--our water glasses were refilled without us having to ask, plates were cleared promptly, and clean utensils were provided to replace used ones, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case with our waiter. He took our order and then essentially disappeared--we didn't see him again until we had to wave him down for the check. Honestly, we wish the bus staff had been our server. We shared the seafood salad, which felt more like a single-person portion than something meant to share. I had the filet of sole Francese, and my husband ordered the chicken Pugliese, today's special. The fish was good, but I wasn't particularly wowed--the food wasn't bad, but nothing really stood out. While there were some nice touches, the inconsistent service and lack of standout dishes make it hard for us to return.

Earlier this year I took my husband out for his birthday on a Sunday night. The place is cozy but…read moreservice was subpar. We ordered the Sunday prix fixe menu. For appetizers we ordered the pasta Fagioli and the eggplant Rollatini. The eggplant rollatini was the better of the two dishes. For entrees, we ordered the grilled chicken fettuccine Alfredo and chicken francese. Chicken francese was the better of the two dishes. The Alfredo sauce was watery and not as creamy (the ratio was bit off). For dessert we ordered the tiramisu and the rum cake. The rum cake had generous amounts of rum. Overall we have had better food and service. Thankfully we were able to dine in as walk ins at the very last minute. We have had better food and experiences at other neighborhood Italian restaurants.

But what you will find is some of the most excellent pizza in this area. Of particular excellence, they serve a thick crusted, well sauced Sicilian pie. That is the way I remember it, and for my money, the way this type of pizza is intended to be made. They do have a few offerings with toppings like pepperoni and other goodies. But I can tell you that you can't go wrong with a regular cheese slice and especially that wonderful Sicilian. The staff and service is really terrific as well. This is a winner of a business.

It immediately gave me that cozy, old school neighborhood Italian restaurant feel, almost like the set of Cheers. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and packed with people. I ordered the Short Rib Pappardelle and the Grilled Lamb Chops, and both were a 10/10. The pasta was rich and flavorful, and the lamb chops were cooked perfectly. Even my brother, who's a very picky eater, thoroughly enjoyed his meal. The food smelled so incredible on the drive home that I was honestly tempted to pull over and eat it in the car. For takeout, you exit the main entrance and walk around the corner to the back of the building, where they have a separate area serving pizza and other quick bites. When I arrived around 5:30 p.m., the restaurant was bustling, and the takeout counter was lined with orders waiting to be picked up. They also offer outdoor dining. While I was waiting, I noticed the portions being served to diners at the bar, and they definitely don't skimp. The servings are generous, which makes the value even better. It's easy to see why this place is such a neighborhood favorite. Great food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be making the drive from Brooklyn again.

We had a very disappointing experience on Mother's Day. We were only allowed to order from a…read morespecific menu, which had no pizza or sandwiches. You'd think with a smaller menu, the food would come out quicker, but we had the exact opposite experience. We got our apps 20 minutes after ordering, and then we got our mains 1 hour after that. Then we got our deserts 30 minutes after that. For our 1:15pm reservation, we didn't end up leaving until 4pm. They were pretty busy, but there were a few empty tables by the time we sat down. I was also expecting service to be quicker since the menu was leaner. Also, one of the staffs kept coughing in his hands before handing the food to the guests - so that was pretty off putting. Only reason why I'm giving the restaurant any stars is because of the food. The plates came out hot and everything was delicious and they were very generous with the amount of food. Maybe I just have to stick with ordering takeout from them.

My wife and I visited with the intention of trying a variety of dishes, and our eyes were…read moredefinitely bigger than our stomachs! We ordered a slice of Grandma pizza, cold antipasto for two, calamari fritti, Caesar salad, pasta alla vodka, shrimp scampi, and chicken Francese. Needless to say, we left with plenty of leftovers. The standout item was the Grandma pizza, which was excellent. The crust, sauce, and overall flavor were exactly what we were hoping for. The other dishes were good, but generally average and not particularly memorable or exceptional. Nothing was bad, but aside from the pizza, nothing really distinguished itself from similar offerings at other local Italian restaurants. The service was personable and friendly. However, it fell short of exemplary. We had to ask several times to have our water glasses refilled. To be fair, it was a very busy evening and our waiter appeared to have his hands full, which likely contributed to the oversight. The décor felt somewhat dated and could benefit from an update. While ambiance isn't everything, it does contribute to the overall dining experience. For us, the biggest drawback is location. At about a 25-minute drive from home, we didn't find the experience compelling enough to justify a return visit. There are simply too many other restaurants on our list that we'd rather try or revisit. While we don't regret giving it a chance, it's probably a one-and-done visit for us.

It's a small cozy place, it appears to have another side that was having a private affair. I would advise you to make reservations. The staff was really attentive and friendly, gave a great recommendation when asked what I should try. He said the short rib hash was good. Since it was called hash, I expected it to be like a corned beef hash, it wasn't, it was a piece of short rib with fried potatoes and two fried eggs. It was good with a nice sauce on the short rib. My friend had the chicken parmigiana, she said it was good, no complaints. I ordered the tres leche cake which was not to my liking. I'm use to the Dominican Tres Leche, this was a piece of vanilla cake with some type of cream in the middle and tasteless milk, no flavor. I will be returning to try other items on the menu.
