I come here to do a little office work while having dinner and I've been amazed at the quality of the food. The clam sauce is a great subtle broth, one of my favorite things to order at nice places. The Calamari is also excellent, crisp and fresh tasting and beautiful to look at. I'm going to try the Scampi tomorrow.

I absolutely LOVED this place; from the food, atmosphere, drinks, and wonderful patio area I couldnt have been happier with my visit. The owner was so kind and he interacted with his guests as if they were family. The food was a great price, good serving size, and DELICIOUS. I got the chicken marsala and italian egg rolls, both were phenomenal! I would HIGHLY recommend coming here you wont be disappointed. Truly felt the family atmosphere and connection.

Report
Sadly the food spaghetti and pesto dishes were bland and over priced. My family reported that they would much prefer the spaghetti we make at home. This seems like a restaurant that could be great for our area, but there is work to do to meet the value required for their price point.
