I had the Double Trouble sub; Fried chicken cutlet, fried eggplant cutlets, buratta cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion. It was the best sub I've had in years. As good as anything from Brooklyn or Staten Island. This is scratch cooking. The chicken and eggplant were crispy hot. The bread slightly toasted in the oven. The buratta cheese melted on the hot cutlet. The veggies were fresh. It also came with additional salad greens, Cherry tomatos halved and onion. It took almost 15 minutes for my sandwich and twenty for my brother's shrimp scampi dish. Well worth the wait. As I said cooked from scratch. A younger couple came in after us and the gentleman commented on the size of my sandwich. I'm 71 and I had to take over half of it home; it was ginormous. You get an additional discount if you don't use your credit card. You can't beat the quality of the food, especially on the half price Thursday discount. They also have pizza discounts on Tuesday after 5PM. $8 for a large pie until 6PM. $10 from 6 to 7PM and $12 from 7 until 8Pm. You will not be disappointed. P.S. The staff is awesome!

We ordered the calamari to start and I'm shocked to say the marinara and side of tomato salad outshined the calamari itself. The tomatoes were perfectly dressed, and the marinara was TASTY - I could drink it on its own (and I did lol)! For our mains, we got the bolognese and carbonara. Both delicious and rich. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. Service was top notch. We were tended to by multiple servers throughout our dinner, even after we paid the bill. Incredible hospitality! There is no parking lot. Street parking was ample when we went, but it's currently winter. I imagine it would be a nightmare to find parking during peak season.

I had shrimp parmagianio over linguine, my one friend had sausage, onions and peppers over linguine and my other friend had chicken saltimbocca. We rolled out of there sated and happy with a ton of leftovers. Such a great homestyle Italian restaurant!!
