generally, i'm not a fan of 'family style' restaurants. as mentioned in other reviews the service was mediocre; however, the baked ziti and the chicken parm were above average. if you've ever read any of my other reviews you'll find that's a lot coming from me. the 'heaviness' of the meal was what it's suppose to be which is basically sicilian. i've lived in nyc and was born in philadelphia; consequently, i found the cost not bad. we had four adults and two children and our bill was under $100.
