    This was my second time at this restaurant and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is always A1 but this time they decorated for Christmas and it was so nice. I will say this is a very lively loud restaurant so if you’re looking for something quiet, this might not be the place for you. The service is always great & the food and drinks are also very delicious.

    Amazing food as always. Come here all the time and feel like family when I walk in. From the manager to the waiters everyone is kind and friendly and they make you feel at home. The food is always good and has been consistently so for years. If anything it’s gotten better! I wanted to write this review to make sure I gave credit to this wonderfully run establishment. The meal we had Friday night might’ve been the best yet. Ordered the Nonna Pizza and The Calabrian chicken to share with my wife. The pizza was phenomenal and the chicken was unbelievable. I will dream about this chicken. Crispy spicy cheesy and delicious. And what a sauce! Almost a like a vodka with Real Calabrian peppers in it and when they say it’s spicy it actually is not like some watered down places that exaggerate. It’s crispy chicken with melted fresh mozz served over Al dente rigatoni in that wonderful sauce. Perfection!

    Friends recommended this place and it did not disappoint! Went on the Thursday before Labor Day weekend so everyone was out of town and it was nice and quiet. Our waiters were terrific, we weren’t rushed at all and spent 2.5 hours with our group. I had the octopus main and it’s top 3 I’ve ever had. Would def go back!
