Todd and his team recently did an excellent job catering for my group of 40. They provided a house salad, pasta marinara, pasta and vodka sauce, and chicken vesuvio. It was marvelous. I had been to the restaurant in Highland Park before. … More

Stopped before a Ravania show and had an unexpected amazing meal. This place has a welcoming, old school vibe. They give you warm bread and peppers in oil when you sit. We ordered Nana's gravy, pepperoni flatbread and Caesar salad and all 3 were amazing. Todd, Lisette and the staff took great care of us. Will be back for sure! More

Came here for dinner with our work team and had the best dinner! We accidentally stumbled upon this place and it was the best. Lisette (not sure how to spell her name) but she was such a good waitress and was fun to be around. The rigatoni vodka was amazing and the chicken parm was delicious and so big. Highly recommend stopping by. More

Quite possibly the worst Italian I’ve ever had. The color of the spaghetti alone would make you wonder if they are messing with you. From the Alfredo to the Parmesan to the pasta, nothing about this meal is something I will ever think about … More

A hidden gem for great homemade Italian food. Either a romantic dinner for 2 or family night out, this is the place to go to. To keep my kids occupied, our server brought play dough to the table, just to show how they go above and beyond!

I give this place a 5. Food service was quick and food was delicious. I had the whitefish special with mushroom sauce and it was great for $26. Food portion sizes were small but I think healthy is better anyway as it is easy to over eat. … More

Is it a bar, sports bar or restaurant? Yes. Normally that means nothing good, but here they all come together in a small, loud crowd Italian symphony (not NYC Symphony, but it’s smart suburb version). Everyone knows everyone’s name and … More

Beautiful, warm and inviting. I never have liked peppers until I tried them on their warm bread with oil and parmesan cheese, so I was introduced to a delicious new thing! Wait staff was both attentive and patient, as my friend and I took … More
