| - We were introduced to this place a few years ago by friends that knew the owners and have been back several times since. All in all it's a great spot for homemade Italian food, including the spaghetti. You'll definitely want to be sure that you request the 'homemade spaghetti' for your meal.
I usually try to keep things on the healthier side, so I normally ask for the Chicken Parmesan to be made with grilled chicken and 'light on the cheese.' With the portion sizes they give you, it's definitely a good move. Once, when I was feeling more adventurous, I tried the Fish Parmesan and it was a delicious plate of fried goodness. Also, if you go with a Parmesan dish, be sure to add a meatball or two (and if meatballs aren't on your must have list, the sausage isn't bad).
Their homemade Italian dressing was also a plus on my list, although the tomatoes on that salad were not.
Finally, they do have a bar, but use to be BYOB. It's been awhile since I've tried to bring in a bottle of wine, but even with their bar, they were very cool about letting the BYOB thing go (I'd just call and double check before you bring your own next time).
Finally, while I'm a bit new to this yelp thing, I thought an interesting take on my reviews would be to add a note about coffee. I have loved coffee since I was a kid and probably spent too much time learning too much about it when I worked at Starbucks in college. Anyway, long story short it's hard to find a good cup of coffee in a restaurant, especially a mom & pop shop, so if I have a good cup at a place like this, awesome...if not, I'm not going to hold it against them. Most people aren't drinking coffee and my standards are a bit high....but if you do love coffee for dessert, wait to drive by a Starbucks on your way home...other than that, definitely try out the LO!
