"Lives up to the hype!!! Toasted Ravioli and house made mozzarella sticks were excellent!! Pizza was very good as well, maybe a little too oily for me. Wait staff did an incredible job. Parking is tough with only street parking in a neighborhood."

"We always like to find a spot that @guyfieri has gone to on @Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives when taking family trips.
The Scarato brothers opened their restaurant in 2003 and come from an Italian and Greek parents. The items on their menu are family recipes and is prepared by hand with locally sourced ingredients.
We ordered the Toasted Raviolis for an appetizer. These were absolutely delicious. The raviolis were well flavored and fried to perfection. The marinara sauce was a flavor bomb. My wife does not like red sauce and kept wanting more. We were even using the complimentary bread to dip in it.
For dinner the kids shared an Alfredo pasta. The Alfredo sauce isn’t your Olive Garden Alfredo, this is what I can only imagine it tastes like in Italy.
I ordered the Chicken Marsala which came with a side of your choice and I chose Alfredo. The chicken was a nice sized cutlet and loaded with Marsala sauce. The sauce was well flavored and not heavy at all.
My wife had the House Salad and added 4 shrimp to it. The salad is romaine lettuce, red onion, cherry tomatoes, pepperoncini, Kalamata olives, fet, cucumber and served with a creamy Greek dressing. I do not care for salads, but this salad was so good. The Greek dressing tasted like a mix of Ceasar dressing, Italian dressing and honey mustard. I promise, you will get all those flavors and they work together. They have been recognized for this dressing and once you try it, you can tell why. The shrimp were huge and cooked beautifully. I’m not sure what they do to them, but honestly they were one of the best tasting shrimp we ever had.
This is a fantastic restaurant. On a Thursday evening, there was a wait. You can tell how popular this place is, and for good reason. I wish that we lived closer so that we could have these great flavors again and again.

"We were in town for a wedding and took my mom out for a nice Italian late lunch (6/13/25). The corner entrance makes you think it will be a yummy but a bit dated little establishment. I was so wrong. Once you enter the restaurant opens up to a fresh, up to date dining room and bar. Completely inviting. Our server was fun and friendly and kind to my elderly mom. We all ordered something different from the home-made pasta section. We had fried ravioli and the yummy fresh bread. The complete experience from food to service to drinks and just genuine FUN was a 10 out of 10! I loved everything about this experience."
