    We come here again and again- the food is always prepared well, delicious, and the service is great! There is great value in the price. The chef has some inventive specials and the menu has great standbys like veal and chicken parm for those who resist trying something different. The Garlic Shrimp appetizer is so big, it’s easily a meal- and delicious. Their Chilled Octopus Salad was really a star this night- the octopus was cooked perfectly, not chewy but tender, and the salad dressing was outstanding. The pasta dishes are always good, and they serve a large plate of it, done al dente. I had the shrimp and scallop special in a pink cream sauce over linguine- outstanding! My husband’s Pork Chop with pineapple salsa special was delicious as well. We have had parties here too and the service then was attentive and quick, too. Thank Goodness this restaurant continues to thrive!
