Food was excellent from the faccachia to the appetizers (polenta, bruschetta) to the main courses (spaghetti & meatballs, eggplant Parmesan, and more) to the desert (tiramisu, chocolate cake). Gerard was a great waiter. Place was very busy and could be quite loud, but that is not the fault of the restaurant but of the patrons. Will definitely return, this is our Italian go to now.

We had their lunch special and it was very very good. For the price, it is a great deal to get an appetizer, soup and entree all included. The food was delicious and the service was amazing! We’ll definitely come back again for either lunch or dinner.
