    Very good food. Kids menu to age of 8. Very good with kids. Pasta with clams was cooked perfectly! Everything was fresh tasting. Great family restaurant with large portions. Hadn't been there for a while, and they consistently do not dissapoint.

    Wedding soup is better from Heinens. Salads were great. Ravioli was not as described, just ok. Of course cassata cake is wonderful. Can’t believe the menu is so heavy with pizzas. I was looking for great pasta options. It’s like eating at your great grandmas house.

    Lisa, the owner, treats people like friends and family. Since she happened to be at the door, she greeted us and asked about our reservation. We were seated immediately and the service and food were wonderful. Everyone is kind and seems to enjoy being there. Very nice place to dress up or dress casual!
