I'd say that the staff alone is worth of high praise. Even though this is a small venue, I took a gamble and invited ten of my friends, and they were able to accommodate us. I'd recommend calling ahead for any party over six people.\nThe menu isn't too complicated which makes it easy to choose a dish. So far everything I've had has been delicious. My first two dishes were the Penne e gamberi and the Carbonara. Both were amazing but I really enjoyed the sauce of the gamberi just a bit more.If you like shrimp then this is the dish for you.\nOn my previous visit I learned that this is a BYOB place so the second time around I brought four bottles of wine for me and my friends, party ensued. I think the corking fee was $5. *PRO TIP - Simone's Beverage is literally across the street.You can grab beer or wine on your way in and make everyone else jealous.\n\nLakewood doesn't have many Italian dinning options, so let's be grateful that Olive Garden didn't move in and instead we have this unique little place. If you don't come for the sauce, then at least come for the gelato!"^^ . "5"^^ . "1"^^ . "2"^^ . "2017-09-18T00:00:00"^^ . . .
