They also have a gluten-free menu although we didn't try it. The Eggplant Parmigiana and Chicken Cattiatorre were excellent with enough to bring home for a second meal. The desserts behind the glass were tempting and looked exquisite. A great date-night spot or post-movie (at the Majestic) late night snack place.

The restaurant its self looked very vintage and dark. But once we got our appetizer I was surprised. The food was delicious and made fresh. The bread was warm and soft. Service was on the slower side but this made for a very calm dinner and made you kind of relax and enjoy the company you were with. The main entrees were delicious and we got stuffed fast! We got some tiramisu to go and it was out of this world. I will definitely go back again for another dinner night!

We grabbed a menu because we considered ordering for dinner. Well, we ended up ordering 2 pizzas, one cheese, one pepperoni, a cheesesteak and an antipasta. I really enjoyed everything. The sauce was very savory and I really enjoyed it. The food was ready when I arrived and it was hot and fresh. If I'm in the area I would definitely go back for sure! The place is small inside with a few tables and cozy. It is in a strip mall next to a tattoo shop.

Had the mussels with garlic, zucchini with cheese and shrimp francese. My favorite plate was the shrimp but it was all unexpectedly great. Waitress was Kennedy and she was top notch.

Warning others with young children, but hopefully my experience was an anomaly. I made a…read morereservation a few days in advance but when we got there we were told that we had to wait a few minutes. We wound up waiting 28 minutes past our time to be seated. We did ask about it and I didn't find the response to be helpful, however, I liked the younger hostess so I will leave it at that. She shouldn't get in trouble as my issues are with how reservations are managed (or not managed). While I was just happy to be seated, the rest of our party grew restless and it apparently took 55 minutes from the time we entered to place our order. Having a one year old with us, this made it extremely difficult. It was very busy, however, it would've been nice to have the breadsticks and salad earlier to keep the kids happy. It was over an hour since we entered the restaurant before we could give them anything. We were able to leave after 2.5 hours, which was just very long with small children. No one in a position of power seemed to care about all the hiccups. No one apologized for anything being late or that we had to wait so long with a reservation. The food was good, but honestly, Olive Garden tasted better. Finally, they tack on a 3% additional charge to us for using our credit card. It wasn't mentioned, just tacked on at the end. I know smaller businesses sometimes can't absorb that cost, but they have always mentioned it in the past. I found that in poor taste. I will not be back in the future and I was very disappointed in how little regard there was for us as customers.

Walked in and was told to seat ourselves and I grab a few menus to start scan the options. The menu had a lot of great options to choose from. And my company suggested I picked the dishes and we can share. Started with the risotto and I added shrimp, and the lasagna bolognese, and they had a 2 slice of NY style pizza and soft drink special for under $8.00 We were all very impressed with the overall quality and cost of the dishes. And we were so I taken by how good everything was that was ordered. The owner/chef stopped by the table to greets after our meal to introduce himself and that was a such great gesture and was very humble when she expressed how impressed we were of dishes he had prepared for us.
