| - This is the kind of Italian food I've been looking for. None of that pretentious, two-bite portion stuff; you will never leave this place hungry or unsatisfied.
My family tried this place recently after a night out and it's definitely going to be a go-to for us now.
First: the space. It's nothing fancy, but it's welcoming and smells delicious the moment you walk in. This is a place where you can feel comfortable hanging out with your family and going casual. However, I'd consider taking advantage of their take-out options. It's probably a smart plan since you'll be ready to face-plant on the closest couch the moment you're done eating.
I really appreciated the semi-open kitchen as well. It had a real authentic feel being able to see them making the wood oven pizzas and panzerottis right there.
The food: unbelievable. My family and I tried pretty much everything and shared. Their panzarottis are wonderful, and most importantly, HUGE. Seriously, split one with another person or don't expect to finish it. Their pizza is also excellent, with a great crust and no skimping on the toppings (I only eat pizza for the cheese, ok?). The salads were very fresh and tasty too.
Without a doubt it was the pasta that blew me away the most. I tried the alfredo and penne all vodka sauces (you can choose any pasta you like). My favourite was the vodka sauce - I'll even admit it: I ordered a second portion of that one even though I was full (did I mention that the portions are HUGE?).
The best part about this place though has to be the owner. He was so warm and friendly, and it made you actually feel like you were walking into an Italian family's home kitchen. He was especially great with my young nephews and getting them talking rather than keeping their eyes on Candy Crush.
If you're looking for a stuff-your-face, completely-satisfied, casual kind of dining experience: you NEED TO GO HERE.
