The special I ordered (pictured) was easily one of the best dishes I've had in a long time, and honestly every single thing we ordered was delicious. This meal went above and beyond perfection. We got there a little before noon and already had 3 cars ahead of us waiting for them to open -- the second those doors opened, people were lining up fast. They had plenty of tables and service was so quick. Once we were seated, things moved quickly: menus right away, water and drinks out fast, and service that stayed genuinely attentive the whole time. I didn't even get close to finishing my drink before they were already checking if I wanted a refill. All of our meals came with soup and salad, and the pasta fagioli was amazing -- I'm not usually a fan of celery in it, but it was still so flavorful. They also have an impressive dessert menu, but we were way too stuffed to even think about it. Next time we're definitely leaving room for dessert! Highly recommend -- go early, it's worth the wait!

Additionally, we tried a wine cup and let me tell you, it was so delicious.

They also have imported deli meats, cheeses, olives, and sausages. They are even known for their homemade Mozzarella cheese. We entered and felt that the area was quite small. I don't believe 6 adults could stand inside comfortably for long. It was quite cluttered too. We placed our order and opted to wait outside. We were told that it would take 15-20 minutes to receive our order of two paninis. We ordered the Italian (prosciutto, sopressata, homemade mozzarella cheese, and sliced garden tomatoes, homemade basil pesto) & the Sicilian (spicy capocolla ham, homemade mozzarella cheese, sliced garden tomatoes, and red onions, homemade basil pesto). The sandwiches were quite tasty. I especially loved the delicious bread. The meats seemed fresh and the pesto was tasty! The sandwiches got the spot! Our paninis were approximately $12 a piece. I highly recommend calling your order in for pick-up. There's one small table with two chairs... It's not a dine-in restaurant.

The cream tomato sauce hit the mark without being too overbearing of either. The spaghetti dish was fantastic. The olive oil, garlic, and red pepper combo hit the spot.

The only thing that would elevate the dishes would be some meat like pancetta or pork as a meat and to add some texture. The meatballs offered were in marinara and wouldn't go.

I started working here as my first job in March. Everyone seemed very nice and pleasant to work with, I was getting decent working hours, the workload wasn't hateful, and it was what I expected out of a first job. A couple weeks after getting hired, however, a few cracks started appearing from working there. First came one night after one of my shifts where a very nice man approached me as I was waiting outside how he admired my appearance and professionalism when asking for an application, the interview process, and working there, but then he advised me that this establishment is not the place I would want to be if I expected good treatment from my management. I naively dismissed this remark as I hadn't noticed anything negative come from anyone higher up thus far and we bade each other a good night. My first real indication that something wasn't right was that it took a full month for me to receive my first check (on April 29th from starting March 28th) on the bi-weekly pay schedule everyone was set up on. To their credit, they had paid me for all the hours I had worked up to that point up to April 12th where that first pay period ended, but after that was when there began more issues. For the first few weeks I had worked there, I was working 4 days/week (20hrs/week) then one week came to surprise me because I had been under the impression that my schedule would be the same each week when I had learned that I had been scheduled only to work that weekend: there was a sheet I had been previously unaware of until I asked why my hours got cut and got told about it. I'll admit I could have asked for more hours albeit I had been told I was scheduled based on the flow of business so I decided not to question it. On my last day of working there, I had arrived on time, a few minutes early, for my shift that started at 10am that day. Problem was, was that the owner (or what I presumed to be the owner) hadn't come yet to open the place which was supposed to open at 10am that day until around 10:10am with customers and other employees waiting outside with some talking of leaving and going elsewhere if the place hadn't been opened within another few minutes. After the place had finally been opened with everyone now inside, I was instructed by the wife of the person I presumed owner to start cleaning up the server's station. A little bit later, I was told by a different coworker, another former employee, in the kitchen that, that type of work I wasn't hired for and that I needed to help in the kitchen and then he told me to help prepare some of the food which I started to do. Soon after THAT, I was redirected by the wife to clean the server's station again, but this is where my coworker intervened and told the wife what he had told me a few minutes before. So she gets on the phone with the boss who had hired me to begin with about what I was supposed to be doing there and then he called me to tell me that I was now only to do dishes, and to only listen to him and the kitchen manager for instruction. Everyone else was to be ignored beyond that, but not 5 minutes later, did the wife come over and tell me the same... except that I was only to listen to her, her husband, and another manager who wasn't the kitchen manager, and that I was not to enter the kitchen area without permission. So, I just listened to the boss that actually hired me and did the dishes for the rest of my shift. Later that day I had informed my boss that I quit. Up to this point, I had not received my paycheck from the period of April 13th through the 26th. Nor had I been fully compensated for the period of April 27th through May 10th, being paid for working one shift when I had worked 3 during that time. Now, after 3 whole MONTHS of arguing back and forth have I gotten that final check of the money they owed me. Like that man said, management is not good here. Don't go here if you can help it, thank you
