Holly SmithAugust 14, 2014A JC institution. Excellent prices. Local unpretentious atmosphere. Classic Italian fare. Solid takes on well-known dishes.
Rick DavisSeptember 9, 2011Delicious Italian food, family owned. Big portions. They bake lemon cookies as a complimentary after dinner dessert.- Wonderful, traditional Italian fare. Large portions; even the biggest eaters will take something home!
Joe BaronFebruary 20, 2014Try the chicken montebianco or lasagna. The shrimp and garlic is a good appetizer.
Consistently delicious food! Try the sausage pepper appetizer- my fave!

"Great homestyle Italian dishes in a private home setting. The pound cake w/ vanilla ice-cream is out of this world..."

"Sangria: good, fresh fruit. Calamari: best I’ve had in a while. Penne vodka w chicken, lobster ravioli & salmon w veggies were all amazing. Service was fast and hospitable. 10/10 would go again"
