This place is special to me. Used to go with my grandmother and great uncle (both Italian) who lived very close. The family would always come over and speak Italian and be extremely welcoming. Now the food, delicious. My grandmother and great uncle both passed recently so I need to go back with my wife!! Can’t wait to get here again!

This cozy hidden gem is a family owned and operated Italian cuisine delight. It's a BYOB so at least you're not getting beat up for overcharged drinks. The servings sizes were just right for one person. The taste was delicious. I had the Saltambucca. It was seasoned just right, the meat, tender. All the food that was brought out looked incredible and no one in my party of eight had a complaint about any of it. I got to the dinner almost an hour late so I can't speak for the time before i arrived. The service was very personal. They treated us well, and were very friendly. They checked on us frequently and made sure everything was to our liking. I will definitely return. It's a great spot for a large family dinner or a date night.
