Quendy SweeneyAugust 30, 2015I ordered the Chicken Diablo and the House dressing based on the previous suggestion/comment and am Very Glad I did! Delicious!! My husband ordered the veal and said "It just melt in your mouth".Upvote1Downvote- Stacy MastersonJune 8, 2013Calamari is fantastic, house dressing is delicious. Toasted ravioli comes in a combo so you get meat and cheese pieces; it's excellent. Service was slow but food makes up for itUpvoteDownvote
Fliet is great as is the chicken Marsala. Love this place. Great family owned restaurant with old school flavor.UpvoteDownvote- Emily HoenerSeptember 10, 2014The veal saltimbocca is to die for. Order the pasta as your side but sauceless to soak up all the Marsala with the dish.UpvoteDownvote
Ted CoppockJanuary 7, 2015Suggest chef put hoagie bun for Italian Sausage sandwich on grille and toast it a couple minutes before assembling sandwich. Otherwise very good.UpvoteDownvote

Fun, old school Italian. The house made creamy parmesan dressing makes the basic salad worthwhile.Upvote1Downvote
Nick JellingsFebruary 23, 2014+1 for the Chicken Diablo and the creamy house dressing. Also, the rolls were warm for us. It was just a roll; nothing to write home about there.Upvote1Downvote
