  • My friend Marilyn and I checked out this place the other day for lunch. The parking lot was empty except for their catering van making me think they were closed. Thankfully they were not. I will never understand why some places just don't catch on. The food is great. The waitstaff is wonderful. Everything works and yet the place isn't clicking. The waitress informed me the place had been open for two years which really surprised me because I honestly thought it had just opened. I think the place needs a cosmetic makeover and perhaps with that and some ads on TV the word will finally get out there because this is a very special establishment. I am Jewish-Sicilian and getting really good Jewish or Sicilian food is becoming more and more difficult after one chain after another completely eradicates any genuine sense of self. Sure the Olive Garden isn't bad, but it's not like the Italian restaurants that my family used to go to when I was a kid. The Spaghetti Company on Som was always a treat. When the waitress mentioned that all of the food was homemade I became very excited because homemade is not a word you hear these days. I ordered the Mingucci Grinder which is 3 house made meatballs in a toasted hoagie bun with sausage, cheese and marinara sauce. It is a huge portion and all for $9. When it came out I could immediately tell the waitress wasn't kidding when she said homemade. You can just tell a homemade meatball from some frozen aberration that a restaurant tries to pass off as "homemade." I actually said to the waitress that I felt like there had to be an Italian grandmother in the kitchen because these meatballs tasted just like the ones my own grandma Sophie would make when we'd go there for Sunday dinners. And surprise there really is an Italian grandmother who does come and offer her expertise. Her name is Nana and I am not kidding in the least little bit when I say change the name to Nana's and make her the face of the place because I guarantee once that happens this restaurant will find itself hopping and will become a destination for anyone and everyone who is seeking a truly spot on Italian joint that is all about making you feel like you're home again. Marilyn had the Stromboli and also commented on how out of this world the meatballs are. I cannot wait to go back and try their pizza and their desserts. Honestly I want to try everything on their menu because it all sounds so yummy. Mangia tutti!
