I'm originally from the St. Louis area, known for its Italian food. This was like a great local mom & pop in that area. Great menu with ample variety. My wife's chicken hollon, had a delicious smoky flavor. She said it's a new favorite. I went with their take on toasted ravioli and their take on an Italian sub sandwich. I prefer toasted ravioli stuffed with meat, but their three cheese was a great substitute. Served with an authentic marinara sauce. The sandwich was one the best subs I've had with great flavor. Served with your choice of side. Like I said, take the drive and stop in.

Tonight when I went in I as for one of Maddie's table since she has served us well every time but even the best take a night off so we got Kate. i feel in live with the Bronx Bomber so I can't really rate it since everytime it has been a perfect as before. However, this time I opted for a salad instead of the bruchetta because I was also going to share a pizza. Thw Johnny's Italian Special was just as goid as my usual. All in ial this was a five star experience. One more thing, we arrived early and were seated immediately and parked at the front door. but as we ate the crowd came. Eventually the place was full but we watched Kate who along the us and several other table has two groups of twelve or more. Not once did neglect anyone and seemed to just get faster and more regular at the tables. Then we noticed the entire place was that way and the level of customer care is the best I have ever seen.

Notes: 1) been here once…read more2) nice waiting area in front 3) close to Black Warrior Pros: 1) good service 2) good ambiance Cons: 1) okay food Ratings: 3.5/5 Service was really good. Ambiance was overall good. There is a nice waiting area outside which leads into a long hallway where the tables are. The space is used well but could be much improved. There is also a bar which separates the seating area from the bathroom/ back. The food is overall not bad. The mozzarella stick appetizer was good, cheesy and fried well. The marinara sauce was okay. The chicken Parmesan was good. The chicken was cooked well and the Parmesan was a good addition. The spaghetti did not add much to the dish. It felt like store bought spaghetti. Food ratings: 1) mozzarella app: overall 3/5, solid for what it was but nothing impressive 2) chicken Parmesan: overall 2.5/5, solid chicken but other additions didn't really bring much

A tiny amount of shredded Parmesan. a small tomato on each corner. An ounce of dressing. A three dollar bagged salad from Publix far exceeded Sugos entree salad. Cavatappi, had to literally be from the same box that I buy it from at the store. Had a scoop of Pomodoro sauce on it. And a meatball. I was hoping the meatball would've been the saving grace , but it unfortunately didn't have any flavor and broke apart. Bruschetta salmon. A fillet of salmon that had a small amount of bruschetta topping on the top. Five pieces of grilled asparagus beside it. We opted for the seasonal festival, which was a white Styrofoam container of what appeared to be French cut green beans out of a can. The salmon was good, but this was not a gourmet meal by any means. Positive note. The bread pudding was decent. I know that we won't be going to the restaurant anytime soon and we'll stick with probably Depalmas when they open back up.

Situated in an old house the dining is separated into different rooms. The service was attentive and we were made to feel very comfortable. I figured the Alfredo pasta would be excellent since it was the most expensive pasta on the menu. Surely it was worth the price. Cheesy and creamy, it was among the best Alfredo I've had. I had hoped they would serve a nice bread for mopping the sauce, but not so. I ordered a half focaccia which was nicely toasted.

We ordered calamari and meatballs for our appetizers. Our waitress brought both appetizers out after delivering Italian wine flights and red wine flights. The meatballs were in marinara sauce and a bit chewy. 4/5 The calamari was served with mayo based spicy aioli. They were tender, crispy, and delicious. We asked for marinara as a dipping sauce. 5/5 What we ordered: Sun-dried tomato focaccia. The serving for 4 was extremely small. Taste was nothing special. 3/5 Rigatoni pasta and guanciali. Served in a tomato cream sauce this dish was delicious and dreamy! 5/5 Pacceri pasta with braised beef osso bucca was very good. Tasted like pot roast with pasta. 4/5 Chicken Marsala with brussels sprouts and portobello mushrooms. The sauce was thin and the chicken breast was not tender. The brussels sprouts didn't hit the taste profile because they were boiled. 2/5 Grilled Atlantic Salmon was very good. The fish was not overcooked. We asked that the chef please not overcook the salmon. 5/5 Mussels and clams cioppino was spicy and good. I got this to go due to the spices. 4/5 Our waitress was fantastic. I failed to ask her name. I planned to pay the tab but it was picked up by our friends. This was my first visit and it will not be my last. 3/5

The lasagna is awesome, the ravioli is flavorful, and all the ingredients are fresh and delicious. However, the service this year, provided by Amanda, was less than stellar. My dining party was one of only two in the restaurant at about 3pm, and Amanda was terribly impatient with all of us and seemed irritated. Her unfriendly, rushed manner is why I'm updating this review and reducing the rating by one star. So, if you go, expect great food but you might have a poor experience with your server. Original review from 2024: "Stopped at the restaurant after seeing advertising on the highway. This visit was absolutely perfect! Our waitress was helpful answering questions about the menu and food. She even allowed me to try a sample of the soup before ordering. That was awesome! I tried the lasagna and I absolutely recommend it! The sauce is delicious! Also delicious was the oil/pesto blend served at the table with bread. That was so tasty, we ordered a bottle of it to take with us!"
