I've been coming to this place for decades and have rarely had a bad experience. Even though I'm a west sider, I try to cross the river every so-often. Went for a visit this past week and the food was still consistent with previous visits.
Pizza is really great- good sauce, crispy crust. Cavatelli is also wonderful. Homemade and cooked to perfection. This place knows how to do pasta. The sauce is also very good. I'm going to ding them on their meatballs which I think are just ok, nothing spectacular. The bread crumb to meat ratio is too high for me, but other people I've dined with love them.
My only criticism is if you get the pizza to go, the crust doesn't hold up, and sometimes they don't put enough sauce on the pasta, but we just ask for more if that happens. The decor is a bit tacky, and the worst part is that they just did an update (slaps forehead)! But, I'm not eating the decor and it's not a fancy joint so I don't really care if there are fake wood paneled walls.
