there food is very good there service is not that great. some times its like the waiters disappear and the manger christian is the worst your food can be raw and cold and he'll blame it on you for some odd reason. but there pizza is very good for the area there Cesar is very good and penny vodka.

I like this place: food is good, authentic, lots of choices reasonable prices, friendly, nice dining room with outdoor patio option. Refreshing alternatives, NOT your tired same 'ole, same 'ole family Italian with mountains of oregeno place. This is an Italian restaurant I am happy to rediscover on "The Pike"

I had the veal alla sorrentina and it was greasy! Instead of a light marsala sauce, the meal was soaking in bright orange grease. On top of that the dish was tasteless. I just had to stop eating it b/c it wasn't satisfying. My husband felt the same about his eggplant parm. #1 son liked the lasagna (I didn't get to try it.) #2 son liked the meatballs, but he's 7. I thought they just tasted like ground beef. Worked for him.

The greek salad had good ingredients except it was extremely salty (and this is coming from a salt lover.) The wine was too warm. The wait staff was so busy they were running! Our waiter never got the chance to ask if we wanted refills; luckily we had waters. My waiter did offer to box my meal, but I said I'd like to do it so I can leave some of the grease behind. He said, "Ok."

I'm trying to find something nice to say...Oh yeah, the business does donate gift certificates to nonprofit organizations.
