    We went on Christmas Day for dinner. Even though we made a reservation, there was, understandably, a little wait for our table. We thought, for a holiday, that a half hour wait for the table was acceptable, even though others complained. My husband ordered the pasta Bolognese and practically licked the bowl! I ordered the ribs, which was indeed a full rack, and...oh...my...gosh. Not only was there an amazing dry rub, the sauce was really good, too. Let me tell you, they were actually fall-of-the-bone ribs! We appreciated not being rushed out once our meal was complete and even ordered dessert! Our server was attentive and kind, and our meal was even delivered by a robot cat! This place may not look like much from the outside but we were really glad we stopped!!

    Love this place! All sauces are homemade. The alla vodka is soooooo good. Get it with chicken instead of sausage. They are good about allowing you to customize too. Been one of my favorites for over 16 years! Quiet spot. Beer or wine only but that works for me. Everything is fresh! Great Italian!

    We had a great experience. The food was served very quickly and for a Saturday night. The Pina colada drink was amazing! The shrimp cocktail was great! The portion were more than abundant. It was a very good meal for the price.
