Begin with the salad. Everyone enjoyed the salad dressing, and the salad was a nice starter. Not a huge amount but enough. The bread was disappointing. Was not made inhouse, otherwise, I'd change as it tastes mass produced. Slightly overdone, too. Buttering the bread, while nice, did not help with flavor. I would prefer a separate container with the butter to butter the bread. The bread was average. The seafood alfredo was very nice. I enjoyed the large portion I received. The only drawback on the homemade fettuccine is it was slightly undercooked. Not al dente, undercooked. I can forgive it as it was good. The crabcake was also good and everyone who had it or sampled raved about it. The potatoes that came with that dish were meh. I wasn't a fan of them when I got to try one. The seafood platter was well liked. One side dish was butternut squash that everyone sampled and enjoyed. This place is worth visiting with service like we received and the food.

No one could decide which part was their favorite, and the portions were HUGE. This is a restaurant not to be missed. My daughter in law said she would drive from Ohio just to eat there again.

We were on vacation and had a craving for Italian. Thanks to Yelp for finding this for us (which is…read morewhy I love Yelp!). First I have to give a shout out to our server Ashley! She was amazing. We were there for a late lunch (maybe could be considered an early dinner) and she was the only server on the floor. There were 4-5 tables the whole time we were there. Ashley handled it like the pro I am sure she is. Every table taken care of and checked on, every drink refilled promptly, every table's meal timed PERFECTLY. I was a server for years and I know it's a juggling act to time your tickets. Ashley was flawless. That being said, we ordered Caprese, because if it is on the menu, I am ordering it. Super smart that they are still using Roma tomatoes this early in the season. That means they know quality. So many places just stick with the beefsteak, or whatever big ones they can get without caring about what is in season (so the tomatoes are mealy). Spoiler alert, the larger tomatoes aren't quite there yet. If you care about quality, you are serving Romas right now. They are the most flavorful. This place makes their own fresh mozzarella (scroll through all the food pics), and it shows. Great start to the meal! Our meals came with side salads - Hubby had the Cesar, as always and I had the house. Not sure if they make their dressings in house, but it sure tasted like it. I loved the extra touch of the dressing coming out in a little metal boat so you can add as much or as little as you want. And yeah, the boat. How many places bring your dressing on the side in little plastic containers? Most of them. So this impressed me. The bread - oh the bread is super good, as well! It was warm and came with a yummy garlic butter already slathered on. I did hear from another table asking that plain butter is also available, but the garlic butter is worth it if you are a garlic lover. Hubby's Manicotti was well done. A decent amount of ricotta on the inside and the sauce was really good - not too sweet, not too acid. This is a big thing to mention, as I didn't taste it. That came from Hubby and he usually doesn't comment like that. My spaghetti with garlic and oil was very good, but there was SO MUCH of it! They could easily cut that amount in half (or more) and save some good cost. The place is clean, so are the bathrooms. We would definitely return when in the area again!

The actual restaurant itself is very small, but although our group was a considerable size, they managed. The manager present let us push tables together to make room for the party. It was fairly empty when we went, however, it was late afternoon and not yet dinner time. It was nice that it wasn't too loud for us to talk and hear each other. The service was excellent, and although the food took some time to come out, it was well worth it! The serving sizes for all of the food ordered were generous. We ordered a range of items including calzones, subs, and pasta, and everyone was satisfied (vegetarian friendly as well!). The food itself was delicious and I would highly recommend the calzones. The large size is actually the size of a large pizza, stuffed with toppings. All of the food was fresh and you would tell it was prepared to order. If I am ever back in this area, I would definitely come back for another calzone.
