| - Quality, authentic, Italian cuisine. Mamma always taught me what good Italian food was from her homemade recipes, and this was instilled and passed along to my wop a$$.
I can truly say that I hate places like Olive Garden and such for their American take on Italian cuisine. They royally eff it up. This place, however, does not.
I remember always thinking this was just some dive bar located next to the grocery store. I never imagined that food was served, and excellent food at that. My mom wanted to go here for her birthday, hearing rave reviews, so we decided to pop on in and give it a try. We have not stopped going ever since.
Personal favorites: homemade chicken noodle soup (odd for an Italian place, I know), freshly grated cheese in their shakers (which I eat as an appetizer in itself), and their alfredo sauce, which is NOT to be messed with. I also have had their stuffed shells, which are to DIE for. The red sauce is amazing, sweet yet tangy and succulent.
Aside from the excellent food, which is the reason for the 5 star rating, this place is a bar. They have a few games (pool, darts, etc.) when you first walk in, and a wrap around bar in the back. Typical drinks and beer are provided, which seem to be reasonably priced.
If you are Italian, and want some home cooked meals like your Momma made, then stop in for a treat. If you aren't pleased than perhaps you weren't raised on the same flavor I was.
Enjoy!
