Its a Italian restaurant not run by any Italians. The food was great, wine prices very reasonable, and the service was prompt and efficient. The portions are big, you may want to split a dish with someone else. The atmosphere needs major updating, it looks like a plain old diner, but it did have good music playing from the 80s. more

A small, modest place but they actually have REALLY good food. The fresh bread they bring to start a meal is excellent. Really enjoyed the angel hair primavera & lobster ravioli, and tiramisu. Would def. enjoy eating there again. Nice service & very reasonable prices too. more

For UFOlogy pilgrims who travel far like I did to Roswell, New Mexico, it has grown far bigger than the little ranching town of 1947 descriptions. (Downtown is fun--much of it in a UFO theme.) However, down the road from the UFO museum is this great Italian restaurant newly opened. I asked locals twice for an Italian restaurant suggestion and... more
