Wasn't too sure about how this place would be, but boy was I impressed! I ordered quite a bit of food and this place gave me beyond what I had expected. They don't cheap out on you; in both quantity and quality. Try their Alfredo Bread. You'll fall in love. Just as how I did with this restaurant. Plus, their staff is highly competent and friendly. They're quick as hell with their deliveries too. Great experience. Would recommend to anybody looking to try great Italiano cuisine.

What a great find. Ordered the lasagna/spaghetti combo with meatballs, and for the hubby linguine baby clam and shrimp, with a side of cheese garlic bread. Not to mention it came with a side of amazing soup (or salad if you wanted) and a giant piece of garlic bread...okay, deal! Ordering was easy with texts to give ETA, delivery was great and exactly the time quoted, and food was amazing. Not one thing to complain about.The price was great too, with portions big enough for leftovers or enough to share. Highly recommend.

The chicken parm sub and penne pasta we ordered was delicious. Has a home cooked style flavor and generous portions. A great value. Makes a great meal, with delicious leftovers. The lady who took our phone order and greeted me at pick up was very nice. The dining area was clean and has a TV. Consider this a little gem in a location not known for Italian food. A must try.
