"Italian gem in a nondescript strip mall in Willowick with a diverse menu. Friendly and attentive service. Great prices and value for large portions, and their daily specials are amazing deals. The food was high quality for the price. I will be back. UPDATE: 3 weeks later I went back, and changed my 5 starts to 1. Never have I been treated so rudely, and by an owner no less. Had a reservation and the man did not come to the front but asked from inside the dining room (speaking over tables if I had takeout, then asked how many and when I signaled by hand he started yelling at me We speak English here, I don 't know what that means. I was stunned and embarrassed, and also confused for it 's a restaurant with Italian words in their name and on the menu. Other diners assured me that oh that is just him, don 't let it bother you. Well I have traveled all over the world and no that is not acceptable behavior. I know we all have bad days but this was excessive and mean, and I do not know what triggered his viciousness. It may have been that I was wearing a mask for precaution (I 'm 2x vaccinated and that makes me wonder about their Covid safety protocols. The manager (she did not say but I guess it is his wife did eventually come over to apologize, and she made him do so later. He comped my $7 wine, but honestly it felt like a forced gesture. My server was very professional and pleasant and the food was good (spaghetti a bit dry in the end. The staff does not deserve to work under these conditions. So, round two, I will NOT be back. There are lots of other Italian places that are less expensive and treat customers with respect (Scotti 's, Guido 's, Mama Catena 's, etc. etc. What a disappointment."
