Friendly

I was visiting from Tampa, and this restaurant came highly recommended by a local friend. We arrived right at 3 on Friday and were warmly greeted by the staff! The bread was exceptional, and we started with three appetizers: the calamari paired perfectly with its sweet sauce, the mozzarella cheese bites were crispy on the outside and perfectly cheesy inside, and the fried mushrooms had amazing flavor. For the main course, I had the chicken parmesan--it was served hot, with fresh-tasting chicken and a generous portion. Overall, an awesome experience!

On 9/10/2025 Shea Alvey had this to say:
I usually dine out nowadays but I have never been disappointed with my meal. Wonderful purportions and the bread and dipping oil is mouthwatering.

On 8/23/2025 Ricah Ewan had this to say:
My first visit and I was not disappointed! Their Chicken Parmigiana was out of this world! The chicken was perfectly cooked, light crisp, tender, topped with authentic fresh marinara sauce that was also delicious. The pasta on the side was spaghetti and was also perfectly cooked. Fresh bread with a crusty crust and airy center was brought to the table with exquisite olive oil for dipping and was devoured. Our server was friendly and professional. We really enjoyed the atmosphere as well. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality and the deliciousness of everything! We will be back!
