| - This is a quaint little restaurant serving very delicious and homey Italian staple dishes. I came here a few years ago on a Valentine's day with my then-boyfriend/now-husband. I can't remember what I had on that day but I remember having a wonderful experience. It's not a fancy restaurant by any means. The wallpapers are retro and lights are old-fashioned, but it doesn't feel tacky and actually gives a feel of comfort when I'm inside. The clientele there I noticed tends to be older people (I wonder if it's because it is very close to a senior home), but sitting among all these old couples makes both me and my husband feel humbled by their lasting love (we think). My husband would joke that one day we will become just like them, old "Agnes and Harold" sitting and enjoying a nice meal here decades from now.
Thus it is no surprise that we decided to come here again recently for our fifth anniversary. Nothing has changed in the decor, as expected. But the service is still excellent.
I had the escargot to start, sautéed in white wine, garlic-butter and herbs. This is the only dish of the night that I wish was better. On hindsight I should have ordered it with melted mozzarella cheese (for an extra dollar), as I didn't enjoy the acidity of dish otherwise.
For my main I got the Veal Scallopine - sauteed with Marsala wine and accented with mushrooms and red peppers, with spaghetti Bolognese. Oh my god this blew me away. The veal was done so tender, and the sauce was so delicious, I was literally mopping up the plate trying to get all of the sauce.
My husband ordered their New England Crab Cakes to start, and let's just say, him and I both enjoyed this, hehe. I took one bite of it and I ended up taking more bites. It was perfectly crunchy without being harsh on the palate, and the crab meat was well seasoned and tender inside.
He also had the Manicotti as his main - Fresh pasta stuffed with seasoned ricotta and spinach and baked in a basil tomato sauce with mozzarella cheese. I didn't steal too many bites from him as I was so absorbed in my Veal Scallopine, but my husband seemed to have enjoyed this dish very much as well. Despite it being a vegetarian dish, it was super hearty and filling.
This place is also ideal for family dinners. Seating is spacious and the staff here is very friendly. I have had no problems with waiting for water refills, ordering, and waiting for the check. If you want to experience a nice down-to-earth Italian diner, come here!
