    The staff was so on point and welcoming. The ambience in the restaurant was ideal for a first date; despite the other side of the establishment hosting two parties, we were completely isolated from the noise! Service was at the perfect pace and the food came out cooked to order. Absolutely recommend!

    We got married here. This continues to be one of our staples for anniversary, but we don’t hesitate ever because the standards are high. Service is incredible. The owners take great pride and everything they do. The food was spectacular. Wonderful for Work events, private parties, and small intimate dinners. Old school vibes.

    Had never been there before and it was a very nice experience. Walked in to a very welcoming owner, Sal. It was not very busy in the restaurant so noise level was quiet. Restaurant is lovely. Service was also very good and attentive. Food was also very good from the garlic bread, which they give a very full basket not just 2 little pieces, to the cannoli. Steak was tasty and came with potatoes and string beans. Will be going back!
