• Warm and relaxing neighborhood place. Good Italian food at a reasonable price.
• Always busy on weekend nights. Make a reservation.

“This is a neighborhood Italian restaurant that's been in this strip mall for decades. These kinds of restaurants are all over this city, where the Italian tradition is strong and the Italian food is treasured. This isn't gourmet, but it's reliably delicious food at a reasonable price, in a relaxed and intimate setting. This is a restaurant that isn't "romantic", except that it feels full of love. That's because it's a place where families gather, sometimes for generations. My favorite thing on their menu is the tutta mare, which is always yummy. They also do a demon eggplant parmesan. Not really a business traveler's location because it's out in the suburbs, some distance from the business centers, interstates and airport. But it's the real Italian deal. Interestingly, across the street in another strip mall is an authentic Mexican restaurant< El Nepal, which is run by a family who came here from Mexico more than 15 years ago. It's been thriving for more than 10 years. For those who think the suburbs never have any personality, these restaurants give lie to that prejudice.”
