    Quiet, long-standing neighborhood place with great service and food. Very hospitable and unpretentious. All food is fresh and home made from recipes that mostly date back 70 years or so I was told.

    The food is very good, it's why you go there. The baked clams are the best, freshly shucked and seasoned just right. This is an old time Italian restaurant, in a good way. Mostly locals eat there. The waitstaff has been there for years, and the owner greets you at the door. I would like to see more pasta selections, but what they have is good and portioned well. You will not leave hungry as you might in nouveau Italians.
