    Outside
    Dara R.

    We came here to celebrate a birthday/Mother's Day and it was a nice ambiance. The wait staff is superb because they pay personal attention to each patrons request and special dish requests. They have a lot of varieties of classic dishes. They should have served Italian bread with the meal but they initially served dry garlic knots and sliced rye bread. Being a Brooklyn native, this was a bit different for an Italian place not to serve Italian bread. Also it's BYOB which is also trending but they should get their license so they can serve to the customers who don't want to haul bottles with them for a get together. It's a nice place but wouldn't come back -- nothing particularly stood out.

    Linguini in clam sauce.

    A BYOB Italian place that has been in Leonia forever !!!! We have frequented this place so many times and because it feels very local and cozy, we did not even think of reviewing the food here. A quiet family restaurant, with a reasonable portion - not the regular Italian family style - affordable price. We had eggplant rollatini and misses in red sauce for appetizers. Eggplant rollatini is always a must, but slightly smaller portion now. The mussels were soooooo small!! Tiny !!!! But we loved the tomato sauce of course, dipping the garlic knits they serve. Chicken marsala is still consistently good with good amount of mushrooms. The linguini in white wine clam sauce was a bit disappointing....just no flavor. Very bland. The lobster ravioli in vodka sauce was decent.

    bacon adorned scallop and shrimp, redolent in garlic

    Best spot for Italian cuisine, bar none. Warm atmosphere, amazing flavors, attentive and friendly service. Very highly recommended

    Clam Orgenata

    Great food and cute restaurant! I came here for a baptism and everything from appetizers to dinner was delicious. I was able to try multiple menu items and was very pleased with all that was served. Clam orgenata, calamari and stuffed mushrooms were appetizing. They also served eggplant rigatoni, but was unable to eat due to allergies. For entree we had family style option of chicken francese, steak and/ or filet of sole. Chicken Francese was my favorite. Thinly cut chicken breast battered with lemon, butter and white wine sauce.

    Bread, Butter, Salad

    Went for Daily Lunch Special Food - 5/5. Salad was fresh with good crisp bites and the dressing had a refreshing level of tartness. Bread was soft and I enjoyed the variety they offered. Shrimp scampi was fantastic! Pasta was a great al dente, shrimp had a good bite and the sauce was rich in garlic and butter flavor. Delicious! Service - 4/5. Courteous and friendly. Value - 5/5. They offer a lot of their main dishes on their lunch special menu for a fraction of the price. The portions are smaller but they are a good amount for one person and comes with a salad. The food was delicious and $15 for a seafood dish is a good deal. Parking - Mall Lot (Free)

    Lasagna. More meat than pasta.

    Low key local neighborhood favorite. It's quiet spacious so it's good for family gathering/celebrations too as well as casual dinners. It's also byob which is great. The service is excellent and food is pretty good, not outstanding but what you would expect from a local italian restaurant. I've tried vongole, lasagna, gnocchi, penne vodka sauce, etc. They are all decent.

I had never had steamed skate anywhere before so my acquaintance told me that I wouldn't like it because it's "pungent" but I'm so glad I got to try it because I LOVED IT. So savory, flavorful, and packed with umami. Another good thing is their extensive menu. I can't wait to come back to try the rest of their dishes. The interior decor is very nice as well. The high ceilings and black color theme give it an elevated feel. And the staff is very nice and accommodating CONS: their air conditioning was broken when we went in the middle of summer (which I'm sure they'll eventually fix). I didn't mind because I love the heat but my acquaintance was sweating uncomfortably. Also, the food was good and some dishes were great but I wouldn't say it's the "best I ever had." The grilled beltfish was very plain (and bland) until I squeezed lemon juice all over it. It's the type of place that has endless comfort food and is your regular go-to spot (or go to order in) when you feel too lazy or tired to cook (or hungover) rather than a special occasion spot This place is decent and reliable. And everyone needs one of those in their back pocket to lean on.

I wish she had told us this sooner, as we had to place a new order for my in-laws while we were almost done with our own food. strange that they were out of snow crab legs and dungeness crab so early in the evening and with so few customers. also the restaurant is freezing cold, dingy, and dark, which adds to the over all unpleasant dining experience. definitely skip this place!

    Finally got to try this place I heard so much about on a Christmas day with wife because it was…read morefrigid and we wanted a warm bowl of Korean "tang"(soup). Finding parking is quite challenging given the location on a busy commercial street, so make sure you can come earlier than meal time to have better luck. They have waiting seats OUTSIDE so yeah I suppose it's quite popular at times. 1. ATMOSPHERE (3/5) - This location is small and it's pretty straightforward place. But I still found it cozy, with decent amount of seating (I think it can handle 15-20 max) and little details like wall with wood ledges and coat hangers were a nice touch. Seating was comfortable, though we tied our down parkas around our waist as another party had hung theirs on our side of coat hangers. 2. FOOD (4/5) - We dove right in to try their famous gejang (~Korean raw crab "ceviche") and ordered two of their namesake gookbap (rice with soup) to see how they are. Here's how it went down. - Gejang (App, $20, 2/5) - I had a hunch that on a holiday perhaps I should not order this, but my craving for succulent crab flesh be damned, I went for it and unfortunately, the meat was not well-marinated as I had feared. Gejang is a dish that has to sit in the complex soy-based pickling liquid for some time... and if restaurant is too busy churning them out or if it's slow season they won't do this properly. It not only wasn't fully marinated, I think the marinade was off because the spiciness was way out of balance and was overpowering. Perhaps knowing that it didn't have enough time to marinade the kitchen put extra diced jalapenos to compensate? Because that's exactly what it tasted like - you can't fool me. I tried to salvage the dish by asking a confused-looking girl server for some sugar, but yeah, can't un-do the overpowered marinade with sprinkling of sugar. This was really unfortunate as I was looking forward to a good bite. - Ahjae Gookbap (Main, $18, 5/5) - Thankfully, their namesake gookbap was spot-on to salvage our dining. Generous slabs of succulent beef on the bone and off the bone was swimming in a hearty beef/bone broth that tasted clean and focused. Portion was good, and can I say their banchan of fish cake moochim & unfermented kimchi & ggakdugi(radish kimchi) simply ROCKS? That was some serious deliciousness and dare I say value at $18 at a day and age where hamburger costs over $10! You win at life by ordering this! 3. SERVICE (4/5) - Our server girl was attentive and food came out early on though later it was a bit hard to get her attention promptly. We found ourselves putting hands in the air, and wavin' like we don't care... for a little while. They provide gloves & metal bin for gejang which was a nice touch for people to keep their fingers clean. One thing I'd like to mention: Plastic cup they served water in was all chipped on the rim so we instead went and got water from their hot & cold water dispenser which had metal cups (as many korean restaurants do). I'd suggest them to replace all these old plastic cups with metal ones for health reasons. Overall, we were satisfied with our meal. I'd chock up the gejang mishap to it being a holiday. I hope chef was just off with the marinade that day because I am a certified gejang pro(I catch and make my own) and that balance ain't it. But I will give it another try during warmer month and we'll definitely be back to try sooyook moochim, oyster jeon & other great soup offerings.

    2nd time coming here. Small restaurant with a few tables. Thankfully when we came (Saturday…read moreevening), there was one table available and it was the same table as last time! Ordered three things: 1) marinated crabs, small size (5/5). Always a must-get here. 2) ddukbaegi bulgogi (4.5/5) - Thinly sliced prime marinated beef ribeye casserole with rice cake and glass noodle and mushroom served in a sizzling hot pot. Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

First time for me, and hopefully not the last. Unfortunately, I live in DC but this will definitely be on the list of favorite restaurants to return to. FOOD: Holy Shabu-moly! The fish cake, veggie, noodle, dumpling, sauce selection was too much. Seriously, I mean that literally. Patrons are paralyzed by the paradox of choice. Fewer options would help me focus on the essentials and allow me more time eating than deciding. Lol. Honestly I wish I would have just focused on ordering the meats. SERVICE: We had a young waiter who was very attentive, professional, accommodating, and understanding. Also, an older gentleman who I can only imagine was a manager, stopped by to fill our water glasses and ensure we were happy with everything.

Considering how good the food is here, I can totally see this spot getting very busy on weekends. + As of April 2026, the all you can eat pricing is very reasonable with it ranging from $18.95 - $35.95, depending on the time of day (lunch or dinner), day of the week (weekday or weekend/holiday) and whether you want to include meats and seafood (which I TOTALLY recommend).
