Good service and the food was good. For me the portion sizes were crazy huge, but still, they were very good. It was a great surprise.

Best Italian food in the Midwest. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, especially the pizza, pastas, or appetizers. As a snob of Italian cuisine, the dining is very authentic and replicates my Sicilian mother's cooking. The service is excellent, hospitable, and attentive, not to mention the great music. I will be regularly returning.

First I wish I could give it 5 stars but a few minor cons prevent that score. Positives first. The best marinara I have tasted in years. My dish was served steaming hot. I had the eggplant Parmesan. The waitress was young but did ok. Many staff were talking and not working. I had the side salad. Now the cons. I ordered a glass of Lambrusco. They were out but the young waitress offered Sangria, which is not the same in my culinary experience. The salad was plain iceberg with a few grated carrot shreds and with a few half tomato slices I was hoping for a house made Italian, the option being creamy Italian, which to me is not true Italian. The food came after a longer wait than expected, but the carry out orders were over 30 in the hour we were there. Our food was good, with the exception of the garlic bread which was an insult to the wonderful sauce I wanted to dunk the bread in. It was like what you buy in a can...ugh. I would dine there again, hoping the pizza is good, and maybe they found a store to buy Lambrusco. I bet 52 years ago they didn't use that bread, creamy Italian dressing, or put wine on the menu they didn't have.

Honestly the best pizza in the town. The crust is nice and crunchy without being hard to bite into, the sauce is spread on it with consistency, and the taste overall is splendid. Service here is usually good as well. One thing about the pizza though is that it takes a bit of care to handle as the cheese has a tendency to slide off. Also, if you are looking to call the business, be prepared to wait a little bit. Otherwise, love this place.
