    Old School Italian, reminds us of the corner restaurants in Chicago with the red & white checkered tablecloths. The adult cream sodas were amazing 😍 highly recommended (& add banana flavoring)

    The large antipasto was wonderful! Chicken tasty, but the clams were small and not great. As my partner said, don’t order clams in the desert anyhow!

    Lugar casero, le falta actualizarse en instalaciones. Muy amables todos. La comida muy bien en general 8-9/10 Puede mejorar. Pero creo que si necesitan actualizar el lugar en instalaciones… Siento que como en un restaurante de los 80. Pero fuera de eso muy bien.

    Chicken fettuccini was so disappointing. Was asked if the peas & prosciutto were ok…I said yes. And when I got dinner, there were no peas or prosciutto. No sauce, just a glob of noodles with no flavor. Chicken was way overdone. Server took it off the bill, but that only takes care of half the problem.

    What’s more perfect than a Joe’s Special? Adding eggplant parm to the order. Calamari, house salad, breadsticks, everything was on point.
