By far one of my favorite experiences in a restaurant. Emilio was a brilliant host, his warmth & openness coupled with the cozy feeling the restaurant itself welcomes you with is wonderful. After any kind of day, a restaurant like this is worth frequenting for Italian food. My mother & I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience & I will most definitely bring anyone I can by. Thank you for the service!

Don't expect refined culinary expression of Italian cuisine. This is wholesome, simple, & traditional cooking. You know? Like your Mom & Aunt would serve. We had a couple of different pizzas, the salsiccia balsamico, a caesar's salad, & a few homestyle soups in minestrone & tortellini. Solid from start to finish. The restaurant has stood the test of time. It's not that spacious & tables are very small. I guess it's been there 40 years, give or take. Tarek was a great server. Bring your own wine.

Too crowded. Too noisy. Can not have a decent conversation. Tables are not distant enough from each others. Food is okay but the service is great though!
