Been going to this small cozy joint since they opened - I am a foody from New York and I AM A REGULAR.
The staff is great and very friendly but that only makes a place with good food better.
In the early days, mama Angelina was in the back showing Phil (the owner) the magic of the sauce and the right way to make the meatballs - she must of been a good teacher because Phil nails it every week.
I have brought many new yorkers here, even my parents, and they all say the Sausage and/or Meatball Parm is as good as back home. My usual is 1/2 Sausage & 1/2 Meatball Parm hero w/ their tossed green salad instead of fried or pasta salad.
All the food is good, but you come here for the italian. That said the Pastrami is some of the best in Las Vegas - hot and melts in your mouth. Plus they just added Jardinera to the Italian Beef Sandwhich so similiar to Scala's from Chicago.
The bread and rolls are key and they are good.
Now, if they could only keep Root Beer soda stocked, there will be no issues - this last part is a running joke.
BTW spending $1.50 for the fries is a steal - they are good and crisp and the portion is huge -- go to any of the other local places and your are looking at 2x the price.
They also now have Black and White cookies and tastee cakes - mmmmmm
