    Lots of character and history, the hostess was lovely, so we were happy to be there. Unfortunately the food was surprisingly mediocre for a place with such good reviews. From the oily, lackluster salad, to the pizza crust that tasted like wonder bread, to the gelato that was grainy from having melted and been refrozen, it was a disappointing meal. But the live music was lots of fun, and at least we weren’t tempted to overeat!

    Waited an hour for a table with a 6:30 reservation. Service was extremely chaotic throughout the evening. Busy but organized is fine but this was chaos. Our table was physically moved while we were eating to allow an extra person next to us. We ordered a 2nd drink as our pizza was brought to the table but didn’t receive those drinks until we were both done eating. The couple next to us asked for a basket of bread but they were told “sorry, we’re out of bread”. Food was completely fine but the vibe tonight was not enjoyable.

    Lisa and her team are always welcoming. The food quality and amount is well worth the reasonable price.

    not quite sure how the bill got to be so high, I think it was 275ish, we had 3 bottles of wine, one fettuccine alfredo, one angel hair pasta, two stuffed shells, large antipasta and one spumoni...seems like the food couldn't have added up to more than 150, so 125 for 3 bottles of wine?

    We enjoyed our meal and the server, while old school, had a lot of character, as did the ambiance. We will be going back.

    As always this place is always magical to us. It was a pleasure spending our Valentines Day at our special place. The food is always excellent as is the service. We highly recommend this quirky but romantic place.

    First time dinning at this establishment. I was not impressed with taste of food or service. I had the Ribeye and my husband had Lasagna. Steak lack seasoning and lasagna was not what I would expect from an Italian restaurant. A little salt can fix taste. However, we only saw our server when he took order and brought check. Perhaps it was the busy Valentine's Day that threw everyone off.

    This is my husband's favorite Italian Restaurant. Were there to celebrate his birthday with our 3 young adult children. Food is great and service is outstanding. Love the decor. Truly a neighborhood gem. Very reasonably priced for what you get. Highly recommend.
