Traditional Italian gem run by locals! I highly recommend the Antipasto Salad and the Eggplant Parmesan. Both were excellent! I will definitely be back!

Great food : Sat on the patio and had one of the many lunch specials. I ate a sausage sandwich with a nice salad and drink. All for one low price with good service :

The food was great, and the service was pleasant. The prices are comparable to other places in the area: large portions are $17 and small portions are $10. Both the lasagna and pasta cost $13 each. The servings are generous, and we ended up taking some leftovers home. View menu

Food was pretty good. Quick takeout service. Nice staff. Had the chicken marsala and a pepperoni pizza. Pizza was really good but very greasy, chicken was kind of saltly, and I am a salt-a-holic, so for me to say that, that's saying something. Otherwise still pretty darn good

By far the best tasting AND most affordable Italian restaurant I've had nearby! The prices were all very affordable, and the selection of pasta is vast. I ordered the Pasta Special and it was perfect. It had a ton of chicken and artichoke. The tiramisu was excellent as well, it was full of flavor.
