A Must Visit I'VE BEEN THERE 3 Times for Dinner 4 times for Take out. 1st time to test the Calamari (freshly cut- a rare thing) Great Homemade Marinara Sauce with some hot peppers. And pasta with their marinara sauce. 2nd time with Neighbors. Kathy & I shared Fresh Wild Caught Salmon. Wonderful. They split the plate for us. Neighbors had Chicken Parmigiano and Manicotti. Had side of Mushrooms shared by all, as well as side of broccoli, as appetizers. Also Lobster Bisque homemade topped with delectible crabmeat. Our server was Rosalia, daughter of Owners Caterina (a delight to get to know) and Antonio (Head Chef & Creator of this fantastic menu).

Rosalie checked back with us a few time (shortly after receiving meals - to make sure everything was cooked to our liking, not too soon and not to late which is a compliment of a Great Server) which I personally appreciated. The entire staff was professional and a delight to talk to. I noticed that Antonio takes his time to respond to every review given to his restaurant. 3rd Time. 6 of us. Kathy & I, my Daughter & Husband and Brother-in-law and his wife. He is a restaurant connoisseur, so I was concerned! You did not disappoint. He had Mussels fish pasta dish. Appetizers Calamari, Nonna's home cooked Meatballs with cheese and marinara sauce ( to die for), best I've ever had. His wife enjoyed one of the fish specials of the night. My wife had a Vegetarian dish. I had outstanding Veal Picatta My daughter had Chicken Parmigiano and son in law had Eggplant Parmigiano. They brought a piece of CHEESECAKE adorned with a candle for their 2nd anniversary. Other dessert items are incredible. Server was Anthony. Alex and Barbara have also taken care of me in past. All the servers help each other out delivering the food dishes. Bus help also do a good job filling glasses with water and assisting the servers. Take out 4 times. Once just pasta n sauce. Yes I have ordered just Nonna's Meatballs three times. Very tender 100% beef. I was only going to eat 2 last night Fri Sept 27 2024, but I devoured all 4 (no problem) with their warm bread & butter.

I visited with a friend for an early dinner and we walked in and I asked 3 times if they were open (we came around 530 so it was still a bit early for the dinner rush). All the employees were sitting at a table or in the back area behind the counter. No one said a word just stared at us. It was awkward and very weird. Finally a young guy came up to the hostess stand and asked if we would like a table. The waitress was not very attentive and seemed like she couldn't get away from our table fast enough. The food was very hot, fresh and well bland, which is odd because generally Italian food has a lovely garlic flavor, there's seasonings and just overall a general flavor to the food and usually aromatic. This really lacked all of that. The waitress never came back until the very end so I didn't end up ordering a glass of wine to go with my pasta. My friend and I were both shocked at the lack of hospitality being it was an Italian restaurant and being Italian myself I found it rather rude. We asked for the check and left- she didn't even ask us anything about our meal or if we wanted a box. We were never asked if it was our first time, offered any recommendations or appetizers. It was very odd especially hearing other wait staff ask other guests how their meal was, if they'd like anything, offered recommendations and was overall just friendly. I wish this had been a lot better experience, we read the reviews and was shocked at how poorly our experience was compared to the amazing reviews we read. This is a pricey establishment, which is normally not a big deal but to have an experience like this and to pay this much was honestly more than I'd like to contend with again. I'm not sure if we will be...

I've been in the restaurant industry myself for over 10 years. I grew up in North Jersey and worked in Manhattan. This is one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. As soon as you walk in you get straight authenticity. The owner Antonio and his staff largely his own family make you feel like you're right at home. My waiter Giuseppe was speaking in Italian to the kitchen while he was at our table. I loved it. The aesthetic is incredible and you can tell that whoever designed it put in a lot of time and effort. Now as far as the food: the pizza was fresh, crisp perfect crust, the carbonara had the consistency that is so hard to find in other Italian restaurants with authentic succulent pancetta. My mother had the veal marsala and said it was tender and the sauce was fantastic. As far as appetizers we got the calamari and the arancini. The calamari was not overly breaded at all and just very fresh. I almost felt healthy eating it while at the same time feeling the guilty pleasure of eating something fried. Salads came with almost every meal. The House and the Caesar were comprised of fresh crunchy pieces of lettuce. They are working on their bar and getting it all set up and even then make an excellent espresso martini. No Bailey's or anything other than fresh espresso and the other necessary ingredients leading to an aromatic frothy cocktail that would impress any seasoned bartender. You would think I'm an official ambassador or something but honestly I just love seeing a family having success in the food they're giving to the community. I make the drive from about 1 hour. I hope that by reading this you decide to support them and have an...
