Suggested this place to my work associates for a large group outing, and everyone loved the authentic thick Italian accents, entrees, and dessert. I had the cannoli for desert and my only issue was trying to break it up for others that wanted to try!

There is an absolutely lovely outdoor patio for alfresco dining! It appeared to be dog friendly!

Love this place for a quick bite (we live next door). They definitely improved their menu from when they just started (back then everything was greasy as can be). They just need to have someone professional come in and assess their bar speaker system. Everything sounds tinny and horrible when you sit in the booths. I've noticed it degrade the last few times I've been there over last 6 months. It is worth having someone come in and look at this professionally as this destroys an otherwise perfect experience. And please no Luther Vandross. Stick to Sinatra or something more fun.
