Great environment and great food. Although was with my father (he's in almost 70) and he mentioned it echoes too much in there where it's hard to hear anyone speaking. Maybe some decor to help "buffer" the sound. Overall great place!!

Worst Italian food I've ever had. We had chicken fettuccine and spaghetti. Both were terrible. The spaghetti and the Alfredo sauce were very bland. The Fettuccine noodles tasted like they were cooked in shrimp water. And, the Chicken tasted like it had spent too much time in the microwave. Service was decent. I got dessert since I couldn't eat my food. The Tiramisu was good at least.

I finally got a chance to eat here. My waitress was terrific, the food could use some help. After reading the menu of grossly overpriced selections, I decided on Spaghetti and Meatballs. Everything else was way above what I want to spend anywhere, especially for Pasta, one of the cheapest plates to prepare. First, she brought me out a plate of dry Romaine Lettuce in the guise of a salad. The Blue Cheese dressing was pretty good. Without it, the "salad" would have been a disaster. The butter on the table was rancid from sitting in the sun and she promptly replaced it with rock hard pads from their freezer. Luckily the rolls were tough enough to take trying to spread the new butter on them. The spaghetti arrived. It was covered with an orange sauce instead of red. Three decent sized meatballs adorned the plate. They were obviously not home made. The entire plate had a strange smell to it. There was no oregano or basil smell, I;m not sure what was causing the odor. I sliced up the meatballs and they were 95% filler. They tasted like flavored bread crumbs. If there was any meat in them, it was not beef. I specifically told my waitress I HATED al dente Pasta and I wanted mine cooked past that but not mushy. She claimed she told the cooks but they did not listen very well. It wasn't al dente, but it wasn't far beyond that. It was still too chewy. I spotted strawberry cheesecake on the menu. "It's new York Style." It wasn't. It was Italian style, fluffy and tasteless. It was a small slice for the price and would not be a repeat choice. It was a mediocre meal for the near $20 it ended up costing. But for the waitress it would have been nothing special. She was terrific. Someone else mentioned the horrible echo in the place. I dropped my knife and it sounded like one of the fracking rigs had exploded. They need to put some acoustic buffer tiles on the ceiling. I also had trouble hearing my waitress because of the echo. We had to talk directly into each other's ears and use hand signals.

Delicious Italian food, and pretty reasonable price. Great lunch portions as well.

Excellent Shrimp Scampi and spaghetti and meat balls. Delicious homemade rolls! Reasonably priced, great atmosphere. Will be able to serve wine next week!
