I've come here a couple times with the family and I'm usually underwhelmed. This past time I hadn't…read morebeen in a while and I came in with an open mind but it's still just a mediocre experience for me. Starting off the parking lot is extremely limited. We came here for a family member's birthday and it was impossible to find a place to park. We had to circle several times before something opened up. I even called and asked where we should park if we couldn't find a spot in the lot and I was basically told "I don't know." I was almost ready to give up but luckily I didn't. On our third cycle through we found a spot. As for the food I got a chicken salad, which was just okay. I also got breadsticks and asked for a side of meat sauce that usually comes with the pasta. I was hoping that the meat sauce would be a little bit more meaty but it honestly tasted like marinara with very light meat essence. My husband got the baked pasta and was also disappointed at the lack of meat sauce in the dish. As for the service there's only one person working the restaurant, which means it took her a while to come over to our table and to get our food. Also remember that this place is cash only so factor that in when you come to dine here. Ambiance was fine. Restaurant isn't too loud at least.

I didn't even realize that there is an upstairs dining area as we wound up sitting at the outside dining area. The service was friendly and prompt. My fiancé and myself ordered the meat lovers pie with mushrooms and it came out in a very short amount of time. The pie was cheesy and piping hot and very tasty! There was a generous amount of toppings and the crust was enjoyable as was the entire pizza itself. We will return again when the pizza urge comes up! I wish I took some photos hopefully next time I will remember to add some.

It is a little small and you may have to wait sometimes but I wait sat at the bar. I ordered stuffed shells. It came with a salad and bread. A salad was very good. Their house dressing was good as well. The stuffed shells were definitely some of the best I've had in a while. Probably better than mine. Not only was the service great but the locals treated you like you were a part of the family, met some pretty nice people there. I was told to try the wings people next to me had wings and they smelled fantastic. I will try them next time I go there. I would definitely add this place to your list of Italian restaurants to try out.

The decorations and store were in a strip mall by a gym so not the nicest location to eat anyway: The food --well the mozzarella sticks was no different than something you could cook at home that you got at Publix and the same I felt for the chicken parm which really tasted like chicken tenders with sauce and cheese. For me I rate places like this based on relative quality and taste and it just wasn't there. I would try the pizza next time but something I am not rushing to go back to.

It was an exquisite experience Super friendly staff and the owner is a comedian behind the counter We were laughing out loud after about 15 minutes listening to him bantering with the customers. We started with the Arancini, which were huge and very tasteful. Then we split the chicken cutlet Parmesan Excellent, perfect melding of flavors and just large enough for two to split. The chicken cutlet was cooked to perfection We also had to try their pizza so we each got a slice of their sausage and of their cheese pizza. BTW very surprised they sell by the slice here in Florida. Both slices were humongous. Excellent taste. The only thing I wish is that the bottom had been cooked just a little longer. I loved the decor with the New York iconic photos and the sports figures of New York. Definitely a return visit is in the near future
