What our guests are saying

Amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend the chicken parm, which is the size of a dinner plate! We drive from New Jersey to create memories here. My best friend sees this restaurant as his #1 overall!

Love this family style Italian restaurant! The ambiance made us feel at home. And the food and service was excellent. We liked all the dishes we ordered. Highly recommend their generously portioned lasagna. Great history of loyal customers… I can see why it’s a favorite place for many local New Yorkers and families. We will be back again soon.
