Hubby got a roast beef and mozzarella hero. We also got a large napoleon, a few other pastries and a pound of Italian cookies - everything was brought home to eat later. Opened up my sandwhich and it was very thick with meat and cheese. It looked great, smelled great, started eating it and then started tasting something moldy. Not sure if it was the onions, the peppers or both. Scraped off all the veggies and tried to continue eating my sandwhich but it unfortunately was tainted to where I could not eat it. Hubby's roast beef was dry - shockingly. Went to eat my Napoleon later in the evening - same thing - tasted bad - tasted like mold - could not eat it. Was pretty disappointed. Such a shame.

Overall it was a good experience, but I do think there can be other Italian places which make their own pasta in house.

Beka was very understanding, including his employees, and helped us rearrange the room for the gift and prize table . My husband and I decided to do the 2nd party menu package. Everything was very delicious from the bread , with the sauce , the Penna Vodka pasta , salad the entrees, and the dessert. We also appreciated not being rushed out of the restaurant. We all had enough time to do everything. We highly recommend anyone coming here and having your event here and especially just coming here and having lunch or dinner.

Plenty of parking in a lot behind the establishment. Restaurant is in a very nice and clean "small town downtown. " We had reservations and was seated within 15 minutes upon arrival. Inside was casual, quaint and everyone went above and beyond. For an appetizer, we went with the Margherita pizza, I had to get a French Onion Soup and for dinner I got the chicken parm with angel hair. Don't ask why, I was in the mood for it. The pizza was excellent. Fresh sauce and mootz. Slight crisp to the crust. We were all pleasantly surprised. The French Onion Soup was also done correctly. Properly seasoned and the perfect amount of cheese. The chicken parm was solid. A good portion of fresh chicken breasts. Sauce was solid. Perfect way to end the weekend.
