I love that this is a locally owned neighborhood place and the restaurant is very clean. The free focaccia bread was very good and it was a nice touch to have the Parmesan cheese on the table. Service was prompt. The wine list is small and I did notice some tables drinking sangria but we didn't try the sangria (only $6 per glass). It was family friendly with a good 10 and under child's menu with something more than chicken fingers. I had a special, penne giardino and it was flavorless! We've done take out before and it was fine but don't go expecting amazing Italian.
