I ordered the Chicken Diablo and the House dressing based on the previous suggestion/comment and am Very Glad I did! Delicious!! My husband ordered the veal and said "It just melt in your mouth".
Calamari is fantastic, house dressing is delicious. Toasted ravioli comes in a combo so you get meat and cheese pieces; it's excellent. Service was slow but food makes up for it
Fliet is great as is the chicken Marsala . Love this place. Great family owned restaurant with old school flavor.
The veal saltimbocca is to die for. Order the pasta as your side but sauceless to soak up all the Marsala with the dish.
Suggest chef put hoagie bun for Italian Sausage sandwich on grille and toast it a couple minutes before assembling sandwich . Otherwise very good.
Authentic Italian cuisine at its finest! Everything homemade , great bar area, cute date spot !
If you like chef salads , you'll love the Italian Chef salad ! Of course have the house Italian dressing .
The house salad dressing is creamy & amazing
Fun, old school Italian. The house made creamy parmesan dressing makes the basic salad worthwhile.
House creamy parmesean dressing is fantastic!
Diablo sauce????try it. It's the best.
House dressing and chicken diablo yum! Great lunch prices!
Excellent food! I'm definitely returning to this place.
+1 for the Chicken Diablo and the creamy house dressing . Also, the rolls were warm for us. It was just a roll; nothing to write home about there.
Traditional Italian restaurant a notch above the rest.
Try a side of the fried peppers . It will spice up your meal.
Get the Chicken Di Burgo! Oh my yum!
The cavatelli with half red half white sauce - amazing!
Try the Tomato Salad when available. Amazing!
Toasted cheese raviolis may be the best meal I've ever had.
The veal saltimbocca is to die for!

Try the sweet potato onion po'boy. It mixes sweet and savory with grilled sweet potato slices, red onions grilled to salty sweetness, alfalfa sprouts, Maytag blue cheese and cream cheese. - Juice Magazine
Try the Cajun spice mix it is awesome on any meat you want even veggie burgers - Angela Knox
