First time at this wonderful byob. We enjoyed our dinner. The party of over 20 people made the restaurant a little noisy because it isn’t a large plane. Excellent service and food we will definitely go back.

What an awesome BYOB restaurant tucked away in Glenside “pre-concert”. Food was some of best Italian home cooking - the cheese tortellini in a creamy pesto sauce with sweet sausage was the best! Friends had their homemade gnocchi with Rosa sauce. Espresso martinis were excellent! Wait staff was great- friendly, attentive! Overall 5 stars !

Very good restaurant. We had the branzino which was nicely done. The baked cheese was good. The menu says baked or fried but they only offer baked (they should change it on the menu). Service was a little slow but it was a comfortable place where you are not rushed. We will go again.
