If you're looking for a place that is cozy and the staff is welcoming, this Italian place will not disappoint. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with warm smile that made us feel right home. The bread to so delicious and the pastas are amazing. We had 5 different dishes and the portions are nice and big. The service is above the rest, always checking on you. Bringing you refills for your drinks and bread. A nice variety of wine,spirits and mixed drinks. If you decide to visit this place it will be the best decision you make in 2025.

Excellent food, lots of selection and what we got was very tasty. Portions are huge order accordingly. And the advice the waiter provides on the amazing unlimited garlic knots is spot on. Too many and you will not be able to eat your food. Service was attentive and quick.

Came here for Mother’s Day after seeing those famous garlic knots on TikTok—and they did not disappoint. We ordered fettuccine Alfredo, penne with sausage, rigatoni al forno, and a Caesar salad. Everything was solid, and the garlic knots? Unreal. Shoutout to our server Jesus for being super helpful when my mom needed her pasta redone. Only downside was the messy restroom and a dirty fork (they fixed it quickly). Still, great food, great vibes—we’ll definitely be back!

The service here is absolutely top-notch — warm, attentive, and really makes you feel welcome. They’re famous for their garlic knots, and I can confirm they are absolutely delicious. The staff kept bringing them throughout the meal, and they’re definitely a highlight. I tried the ribs, which were soft and tender, though I felt they could have used a little more flavour. The mashed potatoes on the side were unfortunately a little cold and bland. Desserts are a highlight — definitely try the Snickers one, it’s fantastic. The atmosphere is lively and fun, with a strong Italian theme. As an Italian myself, I didn’t find the flavours to be fully authentic, but I can appreciate the effort, even when singing happy birthday in some form of Italian to customers. Happy hour only applies if you are at the bar, not at the tables. They have parking on site, but unfortunately you have to pay $10 for it, so I personally turned around and was able to find free street parking nearby.
