    Husband & I hadn’t visited this family owned restaurant in years. Restaurant was packed with a large group in the party room plus all the tables were full. Make a reservation. The Italian wedding soup was good-could have used more little meatballs. Husband had spaghetti with meatballs-did not finish his meal-said sauce was very heavy. The lemon glaze on my Lemon chicken dinner was overpowering-masked the breaded chicken. Service was fine-not enough servers. Even kitchen staff brought food to the tables. Very noisy. Will probably visit for lunch vs dinner.

    Excellent meal — fish lunch special was delicious and you can’t bear the cassata cake. Service always pleasant and personable.

    Do not order eggplant terrine. Have been disappointed in it other times, but this time it was mushy and seemed like a leftover. Pasta was NOT al dente. Lasagna is usually good.

    I had New Years Eve dinner with family. It was a set menu served family style...started with garlic bread, pizza, soup, and Lisa's salad followed by lemon chicken, green beans, pasta, ravioli, and meatballs. Finalized the evening with Cassata cake, cookie, and candy cane, and don't forget the champagne toast. Our server June was impeccable. Definitely would do another fun evening like this. Their menu, in general, is fabulous.
