Good service, food, and reasonable prices. Service was nothing short of outstanding. They were personable, well spoken, friendly, and professional. They worked together to ensure we had a good dining experience. We had the large specialty pizza and it was great! The price was also good.

Always enjoy the food here. Great Italian taste... the Chicken Italia recommends with the Italian salad with its excellent, homemade Italian dressing. The pizza is always on the point, no matter how. If you are a dessert, and I try to be the red velvet cake or the lemon cello cakes are worth saving space. Great service, nice staff. Clean place, very old school restaurant.

First time there but what we had was excellent. Spaghetti and Italian sausage, and lots of sauce cooked to perfection. My wife's Chicken Parmesan was just as good. We didn't leave room for the garlic cheese pizza that came with each meal, but we made just enough space for coconut bread pudding. That was a warm, square of goodness in a not overly sweet rum sauce covered in almond and coconut shavings. Very very good. Definitely going to return to this place.
