Don't get me wrong, pastas were tasty if not slightly over sauced and moderately under flavoured. Had special soup and pasta, both tasted strangely alike. Kids enjoyed their fairly typically portioned yet better than avg. tasting or so they said. Kids pizza was authentic.

Overall, great food and personable service!!! Restaurant is small and as such, seating capacity is limited. Service is slow (takes about 1.5 - 2.0 hours for dinner) but overall, well worth the time and money!! Definitely go back!

It took 15 minutes to get seated an another 10 before they took our drink order. I was livid and ready to leave. Glad I stuck it through, the service improved and the food was fantastic.

Took a friend out for her birthday. She thoroughly enjoyed her Chicken Parm and the portion was huge, we could have split. I tried a bite and it was yummy. I had caesar salad to start, which was a little underwhelming, I think the parmesean cheese was not fresh. (I think it tasted like it was canned) For a second... More

We decided to take a short walk to Main Street and stumbled upon this great restaurant. It's in a great location and the staff were all very friendly! We both ordered the... More

Small restaurant with a family run feel. Good food and reasonable prices. It seemed to be very popular with the locals which is usually a good sign. We would go back to this hidden gem.

Food was very well prepared and tasty and the service was great. The salad was fresh and yummy. Locally grown is the message here and it shows. Our server was very helpful. Definite return is in order!!
