    This one is for the medigans. If you’re Italian American you will be disappointed. Service was good and the decor is old school nice.

    They were very accommodating to my dietary needs. The eggplant was delicious (with the Marinara sauce on the side) and my husband said the chicken parmesan was excellent. Our salads were great too. We were too full to try dessert, but we will return.

    This place was delicious! First, the bread is fresh and delightful. We sat at a booth next to the bar to watch the Sunday games. Ordered the meatballs and calamari. Both were good but the meatballs were the standout favourite. Absolutely get the handmade pasta - I ordered the one with lemon and parmesan (sorry to space on the name) and it was so flavourful and fresh. We had a little room for dessert and my lunch partner had the tiramisu. I had a latte - quite strong as I hoped and very good.

    We had a wonderful experience, the food is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the service. The manager is very hands-on, attentive, and genuinely cares about guests’ experience. The staff is friendly and makes you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in! Highly recommend this restaurant

    Best Italian food ever! Amazing spaghetti and meatballs, nice staff, spotless restrooms, easy to order, and offered endless refills. I wish I could work here.
