I've been looking for a good neighborhood Italian restaurant for a while. While not the best place I've ever been to, it's probably the best I've found in the area.
We arrived about 6:30 on a Friday to a full but not packed restaurant with a nice ambiance and decent styling. There was live music, which for many is a bonus, I however am not one of those people. I find live music while eating a distraction unless I specifically came to see someone perform.
Our waiter was friendly and we ordered lasagna and gnocchi.
My gnocchi was good, a solid 3 out of five stars but the sauce was very chunky. While chunky tomato sauces aren't a problem for me, undercooked garlic and onion in it is. Let's just say it was...assertive. I could have killed someone with my breath.
My wife really enjoyed her lasagna though and that made me so happy. It was very traditional tasting. I thought the sauce could have used a bit more depth and a touch of spice personally, but it was enjoyable.
Overall I enjoyed our experience and I'd come back. I think I'd probably just try something different as the pizzas I saw at other tables looked fantastic. -

I ordered delivery from this establishment and the service was great. Food got here quickly and everything I ordered was correct. The food isn't bad, but not the best Italian food but I am super picky as I'm originally from Jersey. The fried mozzarella is actually a grilled cheese sandwich fried, that was a fun surprise. The fresh mozzarella is more tomato than mozzarella, but that's my personal preference to want more cheese. Most of the food was also heavy in the garlic, again comes back to more personal preference. Not many Italian restaurants in the area, so I was hoping for a bit more but overall a decent meal.

Do not patron this establishment, unless you like to overpay for average Italian food. I have lived and visited this establishment for the last six + years. The food is good, but not for the price. As an example, a large 3 topping pizza, and a kids pizza with peperoni was $29.00. The prices have steadily increased over the last 2 years, but not the quality of food has not I am happy to discuss with the owner, when bartender is not involved. I will not visit this establishment
again!!!
