4.5 In house better than carry out but still good. Loved the white pizzas, Alfredo with mushrooms & peas, and Appetizers. Caesar was basic so not sure why it’s raved about but it was fresh.

Phenomenal food, awesome drinks, great staff, inexpensive for the location and quality of food. One of the best family owned Italian restaurants around. I like to eat and do not write reviews often, but last night's veal shank was amazing. I've been coming here for years from VA and always leave happy. Worth the drive.
Always a delicious experience and an incredibly warm feeling... like being received into family’s home. For more than a decade this has been a top family favorite!
WOW. What can I say about this lovely, family owned restaurant: IT FEELS LIKE HOME. So much so that whether my mom and I feel like celebrating or in need of a mood boost, THIS is where we go. The energy is awesome. You feel the love of a traditional, home-made experience, but with a garnish of elegance and a flare for gourmet excellence. THE OWNERS AND FOUNDERS ARE STILL IN THE KITCHEN COOKING EACH MEAL, to this day. Most recently, we had LITERALLY the best meal we have had in a while. Very Covid conscious, we felt well protected and very comfortable with the sanitization practices. BUT THE FOOD....OH THE FOOD. So I think we ordered literally almost 2 items per section on the menu - yep it was our 2nd meal out since March so... We started with the grilled pumpkin salad made my the lady of the house: Incroyable! (French for incredible). Then the most amazing pasta dish I have had in years I believe (since I visited Italy in 2008): THE PUMPKIN RAVIOLI. I literally had everyone looking at me - I think my sounds of appreciation were a bit disturbing - ha! We both had the same entree: The red snapper fillet with sauteed veggies in a white wine and caper sauce - magnificent and enough for 2 meals. The wine was an incredible Italian made from organic grapes, this was after the negronis from the bar, the drink was perfect - I drank it way too fast. To show their appreciation for our visit, the kitchen sent us a dessert sample platter made fresh by the chef himself - I have to tell you at this point I was lost in some sort of food trance - I just couldn't believe how delicious every SINGLE dish was. Here we had a flan (yes, flan - but not sweet and sugary, the perfect balance of ingredients), and a freshly made almond cake. WELL THEN. This experience stayed with me for weeks on end. This made up for all the COVID misery off not being able to enjoy a delectable meal once in a while. THANK YOU!!!
This has easily been some of the best Italian food I've had in a long time. Super friendly staff and atmosphere. Well definitely be going back soon
