Toasted ravioli was invented by mistake in the kitchen here & history was made. Service is superb, I dined in 20 mins before closing & they treated me like a king. Lasagna is phenomenal!

Haley Woods

The famous & extremely delicious toasted ravioli was first invented here back in 1943. Portions are massive - be prepared to share or take home leftovers. Service is exceptional! This place is a must!

Cole Kennedy

It’s a classic for a reason. Old school service. Big portions of delicious, rich red sauce Italian food . Baked spaghetti & meatballs and, of course, toasted ravioli were bits.

The standout entrée is the tenderloin Siciliano: a buttery cut of beef two inches thick, smothered with Provel and mushrooms and surrounded by a phalanx of tasty vegetables . Read more

You can't go wrong at this place. Service is awesome and price range is moderate. They give you a great deal of food I would share a meal from staters to ending with the sweets.

Best Italian food I have ever had. Chicken Rigatoni was the best. Also the waiter suggested the best red pinot noir which was amazing.
