Mamma Mia! I think that I'm still full from a week ago. If you have ever seen the movie "Moonstruck" and wondered where you could go to capture the same mood, then this is the place.
Everyone knows everyone else who enters and even if you're not a regular, the staff makes you feel like you are. (Regulars get the wait staff that they're used to)
My daughter attends school not far from the restaurant and she recently had a half day of school. I decided to treat her to lunch there and boy were we surprised. My daughter is a chicken parm fiend, so she ordered the Chicken Parmigiana meal from the children's menu. Talk about a huge portion! Fred Flintsone would have been proud to attempt to take down this portion! My kid can really eat, but she slipped into a food coma midway through eating lunch and we had to take the remainder home. (She ate two additional meals from the leftovers!)
I had the baked scrod with a side of linguini, salad and garlic bread. For $7.99, what's not to like? Pasta was al dente, fish and garlic bread were tasty and the service was friendly. I also had enough left over for an additional meal. Additionally, I felt like I had nonna waiting on me.
Don't go there expecting this fabulous trendy tuscan or sicilian meal with an open kitchen and wood fired oven. This is not that place! However, if you just want to sit down and eat something that someone's Italian grandmother serves on a nightly basis at a reasonable price, this i your place!
