I definitely want to have dinner here with my boyfriend. We ordered Penne Al Vodka with chicken cutlet and a meatball sub. The pasta was delicious! Really enjoyed the sauce. The entree came with a salad which was good and I'm a fan of the house dressing. The meatball sub was really good as well. The meatballs were tender and full of flavor. We had a great experience and I'll 100 percent be returning. It's nice to have a great Italian restaurant in the neighborhood!

Oh WOW! What a find!. This is probably our new Favorite…read morerestaurant and located in Oxford (Est. 2004) We were in Derby doing our regular hike along the Naugatuck River and took a drive and saw this cute restaurant on the side of the road. Took a peek at the reviews, they looked pretty good and from the road it's a nice looking building with outdoor seating (our fav) but it doesn't prepare you for how pretty the inside dining is or for the great rectangular bar with large screen TV's everywhere to catch your favorite team. So we walk through and see Christy (learned her name) at the bar. She offers a friendly welcome and tells us to pick our table. So we select a nice four top toward the back outside on the pretty patio filled with flowers. We quickly find ourselves greeted again and asked if we would like some bread. Sure. This is the lightest, fluffiest with a crunchy crust that just absolutely melts in your melt and scream hallelujah bread omg . They have a separate wing menu and then the regular menu. Johnny ordered buffalo wings with blue cheese and I had the turkey club but on two slices of bread as opposed to the three pieces it typically comes with and a house salad with oil and their red wine vinegar). The salad is cut up romaine, grape tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions. The lettuce was so crisp and fresh and the red wine vinegar had what appeared to be their blend of spices in it making it so tasty and flavorful. Now, the turkey is a smoked turkey breast, sliced in house fairly thin but with lots of it. Absolutely incredible! Comes with lettuce tomato and a bit of mayo. Johnnys wings were quite large, cooked too a perfect crispy on the outside and so juicy on the inside. To say we will be back soon is to say the sun comes out tomorrow lol. Service was outstanding and the entire restaurant we saw, indoors and out as well as bathrooms were immaculate. Seriously deserved another star on this great lunch experience. Thanks Christy. Renee n Johnny thank you
