2 months agoFive of us went for a late Saturday lunch. We had Garlic Knots [wonderful], Stuffed Mushrooms, Lemon Butter and Pesto Spaghetti, Baked Ziti with Sausage, Chicken Parmesan on Fettuccine Alfredo, Tiramisu, and ice cream with a coffee drizzle. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The Garlic Knots were soft, flaky and delicious - and we loved the Marinara Sauce because of its perfect balance of sour, salt and sweet(just a hint). The Baked Ziti was freaky good, but I found myself passing on the slices sausage because it was too dense and not very flavorful. I will have it again, definitely, but without sausage. The Lemon Butter and Pesto spaghetti was really good and I'll have it again - without the lemon, if I can. The deserts were good, but not up to the same standard as the rest of the meal. Frankly, I found myself thinking we should have had a different dessert the next time we visit ... Which we definitely will!! Great food, great service and a lovely atmosphere! We were really happy that the owner stopped by to talk with us. That was a lovely touch!!

2 months agoOne of the best spots I have ever been to thus far. I decided to have my birthday dinner here and not only was the food great, the service was the cherry on top for me. I bought my own flowers and they took it to set up the table which I wanted, for that birthday dinner feel. They even had vases for the flowers and let me keep their vases. Their staff were so sweet, but the owner was the sweetest. She came welcomed us in and played a big role into making the experience perfect. The food there was so good, literally have no complaints. I overall enjoyed my birthday. I highly recommend this spot, definitely will be back.

a month agoI think all of us liked our food and were happy with our seating. It was initially a bit loud so it was hard to have a conversation until we adjusted to the sound. I used to drive past here all the time so I am so happy to have finally been. Feels like a nice place to go with out of town guests.

4 months agoStarted out great. Free garlic knots for being new customers. The Italian poppers were wonderful. Ordered the Chicken masala and it didn’t look that great. Not much taste at all. Took two bites and stopped eating. I realize it was busy but no one came around for at least 20 minutes. Once I got the attention of a staff member, I asked for my check. When our server came back with to go containers he put them in the containers. It really surprised me that he didn’t ask if things were ok since there was not much food consumed. I’m not one for complaining. Most restaurants just think you’re looking for a free meal if you do complain . I get it. I told the people that suggested the place to me, and they said to just stick with the lasagna from now on. Maybe if it’s on a brunch menu. So many more places to explore.

2 months agoIt was such a delicious menu. The staff was amazing and the owner; she was amazing. They have a solid menu, here’s a picture of the chicken parm sandwich. I want to nominate this as probably one of the best chicken parm sandwiches in the state. The service was quick our servers Ben and Holiday were amazing. They also have solid stuffed mushrooms. I want to give you a heads up that they do have a brunch menu and they also host events at the venue. It’s a very family oriented restaurant and the seasonal menu is amazing.
