Old school Italian. Traditional decor, good service and very reasonable prices. Been in the neighborhood for a very long time and has long standing clientele. Food is average, traditional American- Italian dishes like lasagna and spaghetti. Live music some nights.
This is such a great place!
Please make your way to this restaurant!
They are so hospitable and kind.
The food is lovely and they really treat their diners like royalty!
Restaurant is very dated. However service was nice and friendly. Timing for food took a while however I was surprised at how good the food tasted. Overall it was a decent experience.
Amazing service and atmosphere. The live music is so fun!
Omg! What a gem!! Great food! Cocktails and fantastic service!!
Good, old family style place. Live music on Friday night. Old time decor you don't see anymore. What chandeliers!
This restaurant receives fairly polarized reviews, and I can understand why. The building is old-style and receives a fairly small customer base, at least when I have been. Personally, I think this is great. It is a quiet, ambient, authentic Italian experience run by an extremely warm, welcoming family. I felt like I became friends with the staff the moment I walked in the door. The food tasted great; it was nuanced, seasoned, and cooked perfectly. There is clearly great attention to detail in their food preparation as well as their building and their customer relations. I would much rather have a laid back, satisfying dining experience with service that goes above and beyond, than I would go to a loud, trendy, expensive, busy restaurant packed with flair and gimmicks. Perhaps that's just me.
Oh, and for three people, with multiple drink orders, full five course meals, the check came out to less than $100. Very reasonable. I will be back.
Went here for a company party. We rented out the whole place. It was pretty nice. The food was okay the portions are kind of small. The food was prepared pretty well, but I wouldn't give it five stars. It lacked imagination and variety. For some reason I think they forgot to give us condiments such as salt and pepper and sauces. Just very basic stuff was missing. They prepared the tables pretty good, tell me what happens but the presentation had much room for improvement. For this kind of small restaurant, I would say they did a pretty good job for what they are. Like I said it's slightly above average. I would give it a 3.5, or maybe a 3.7 at the most, since I can't I gave it a four. They had an open bar so that was pretty nice. Their wine selection was not large but what wine I had was pretty good. Didn't have a large selection of hard spirits though. Specific varieties of certain drinks were not available, rather going for a general selection. Overall everyone got the type of drink they wanted even if it wasn't the perfect ones. There was definitely enough space for all of us and probably space for more. Parking in the area is not great at lunch time I would imagine but after dinner it's pretty good. It does sit in a recessed pedestrian cul-de-sac of sorts, so it does provide a bit of privacy. It took a long time for them to prepare all the food, I could understand since they're serving like 40 people, but since I got my food medium rare I feel like it shouldn't have taken 2 hours. It was pretty much cold by the time I started eating it. The decorations inside were very old-timey. So if you're looking for something elegant and modern this is not the place, it kind of takes me back to maybe the 50s mixed with late Victorian. Kind of like something you would see out of Scarface, but instead of actual stone everything is painted on plaster to resemble Stone. I was afraid some of the pendant decorations were so precariously dropped overhead that it might fall on me but I'm sure it's just an illusion. The caterers and the bartender gave pretty good service though I would give them that. I remember asking the bartender a few times for different kinds of drinks and he served at no problem and pretty expediently even though there were plenty of other people there with me. The bathrooms are located in the front by the bar. if I were to judge the cleanliness I would give it probably a 2.5 out of 5. You can clearly smell odors in there. you can tell they didn't clean in a while. Pretty much something you would expect out of a dive bar, so if you're looking for high class this is not the spot even though it's trying to pull that kind of effect. All in all I give this place an average rating maybe slightly above average because of the customer service.
