EXCELLENT Based on 455 reviews Posted on GaryVerified Can't say enough about this great byob. From the friendly greeting by the owner as you enter to the welcoming nature of the serving staff, you are relaxed before you open your wine and peruse the menu. But make sure you listen to the specials. There are always amazing surprises. Last night there was a poached pear salad and a fried burrata appetizers that were even better than they sounded when described by our waitress. My wife went with the Veal Marsalla and I had the seafood special. Both were great as always. Save room for dessert, always an excellent way to end a delightful evening.Posted on SteveVerified Amazing food and amazing staff. What more can you ask for from a restaurant!!Posted on GianfrancoVerified Food and service was fantastic as usual! Love it there!Posted on KevinVerified We had the Arancin and the Rollatini for appetizers and they both were good. For entre I had the Cioppino which was good the amount was disappointing for the price. We also had the Fiocchi di Pere and the Veal Marsala. The Fiocchi was excellent but the veal was a small serving . I wanted to try it because I had heard good things but with so many options for Mediterranean in this area I will most likely opt for another place.Posted on DanVerified Always delicious! Owner and waitress’ are attentive. Hidden gem.Posted on LarryVerified Every meal we have ever had here has been excellent and the service is warm and friendly. It’s our favorite go-to place, one of those places that you want to be successful, but never to change.Posted on JayVerified Wonderful food, service and a great owner. They always honor your reservations.

This is the kind of place you return to again and again—and confidently recommend to everyone you know.Posted on Bill DascherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good BYOB restaurant. The quality and consistency are commensurate with the price. 4 of our 5 visits over the past two years have been very good. I was in between 4 and 5 stars but anybody can have an off night, 5 stars for flavor is truly representative of their quality. Service staff is always polite and punctual. Owner is always there working hard too (restaurants with hands on owners usually perform better, in my experience) and also always a gracious host.Posted on Dan FairTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife took me here for my birthday as we love trying new restaurants and it was a fantastic experience! The restaurant was very clean and had that “family owned authentic Italian” vibe to it which makes you feel very welcomed! The staff was super friendly, and all the food was amazing! We shared a crab stuffed mushroom as an appetizer. I had a lobster tail, scallop and shrimp pasta over a white wine garlic sauce and my wife had a scallop risotto. For dessert I had the pistachio cake (was super light and refreshing) and she had the caramel cake (was delicious & decadent). Super glad we came and can’t wait to return!Posted on Endri KulariTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Delicious food and great atmosphere! Definitely recommend!Posted on Pitt ScottenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly people and great menu.Posted on RachelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. incredible authentic italian food. seriously a hidden gem.Posted on Sean SimpsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ETA Another fantastic meal. This time for my birthday dinner. The lobster arancini was perfect. The autumn salad special with pumpkin and pomegranate seeds is a must try. Both our entrees of branzino and chicken piccata were equally delicious. We were also impressed with the rapid beer chiller ;) The service here is top tier. It’s more like walking into your family’s home than a restaurant. Thank you for a beautiful ending to my birthday. Amazing service and food !! Just wow. Hidden gem doesn’t do it justice. Our meal was fresh made and absolutely delicious! The owner was gracious and welcoming. We’re so glad we stopped in tonight and will be back for sure.Posted on Innovech SoftwareTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has a wide menu. The food and service was pretty good. I ate a delicious branzino with vegetables.Posted on Sally DanciuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been here a few times and every meal has been wonderful! Tonight I had the lamb chops and they were delicious. The service was outstanding & the atmosphere is very pleasant. I definitely would recommend this place.
