Everything is made from scratch. Stuff the rolls they bring out with the amazing fresh tomato & olive oil. It tastes just like eating a margarita pizza. We started with the insatate tricolore salad, which we split (it was very large.) It was wonderful! I talked to the waitress about the fresh dressing, wishing I could make something similar at home. She was very informative & explained how simple it was, but I'm telling you, it was SOOOO good! I got the linguine carbonara, hubby got the penne puttanesca, both of which were some of the best we've EVER had. We shared the tiramisu (made in house), with a fresh cappuccino & a glass of pinot noir. The service was spot on. Two servers worked in tandem & we didn't wait for anything. We will definitely be making the 3hr drive from our home back for dinner again, hopefully sooner than later! Don't sleep on this place. It is a true hidden gem with all authentic Italian food.

Open Monday through Saturday from 8 - 4 they serve a variety of breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Since it was a little after noon I opted to get The Capone's Italian. Service was friendly and quick to get our sandwiches ready. I ordered a large and ended up taking half of it home for the next day. It was big and delicious! The roll was nice and fresh and it was filled with Cappicola,Genoa Salami,Pepperoni and I switched out the Provolone cheese with the White American cheese. Topped with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, mayo and deli dressing it was a treat. Their sandwiches are served with a deli pickle spear which was crisp and tasty. I love this little Italian Deli!

The fettuccine Alfredo was horrible just tasted like white gravy with no seasonings. The chicken piccata was not crispy and the sauce was very runny. The service was ok but I was a little perturbed because we walked in. There was no one in the restaurant. It was about 1230 and she said you can sit anywhere you want so I looked around and I picked a table for six when we only had four only because it gave us more room and there were no other customers in the restaurant when I asked if we could sit there she said no that should be kept for bigger parties when they come in now mind you they were not knocked on the doors down the entire time we were there. There were no other customers and we were there a good hour and 15 minutes right at the end two people came in, but really I was pretty disappointed that she did not accommodate us. Clean restaurant. Won't be back.

We were presented a menu and my wife and I chose to start with traditional lumpias (Filipino egg rolls). My wife ordered the Ahi Tuna BLT and I opted for the Ribeye Rice Bowl. The lumpias were very good. Freshly deep fried, hot and crispy served with a sweet and tangy chili sauce. My wife liked her BLT and the huge spears of fried potatoes served with it. They were quite generous with the pieces of ahi as well. My dish was equally good with tender and flavorful slivers of ribeye in a flavored rice and grilled vegetables. Service was friendly and attentive. After our meal, I chatted up a lady who I learned was the proprietor and who just happened to be from the Philippines. We'll definitely be back!

And the flavor is not bland- or shy. The House pizza had ground beef, pepperoni, sausage, onion, peppers, mushrooms and real mozzeronie cheese- the kind that breaks into long strings. Spices which give hints of identity and does not overcome everything else. Great pizza! Tea was not strong. Small inside eating area- 8 booths and 5 tables. Very clean with few frills.

We opted to share Michael Anthony's large Stromboli. Made with their homemade pizza dough it's stuffed with pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, green bell peppers and onions plus cheese. Very tasty and satisfying. Served with a side of their homemade marinara sauce. Their sauce is very,very good. Not bitter or too sweet - it compliments their strombolis and calzones very well. We also opted this time for a cup of their daily soup choice : Pasta fagiole. Loaded with beans and vegetables in a delicious broth - it was a excellent addition to our meal. My husband who is very particular about his food was very happy with their soup. A very satisfying and filling delivery meal that cost us a total of $33.21 including a delivery fee plus a driver tip for the convenience. It's great to know we have the option of delivery in our area. We will continue to use their delivery service plus eat at their restaurant when we want good quality Italian cooking.

The restaurant was decorated so nice and festive for Easter with a huge wall mural and seat covers for all the chairs. We couldn't help but smile! The restaurant filled up fast after we were seated and I can see why. The staff from hostess to all the servers were warm and friendly. They took care of our all of needs with a smile and attentiveness that was refreshing. Their buffet was VERY good starting with a small but filled salad bar table including a delicious homemade potato salad - one of the better tasting ones that I've had in awhile. It also had pudding included. I didn't try it because I seen on the hot table a dessert that I wanted. The hot food buffet had four different meats, roast lamb with mint jelly on the side, roast turkey with a cranberry sauce on the side, ham and roast pork. The vegetables on the steam table were homemade mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole and a split pea soup. I tried the ham, the turkey with cranberry sauce and for the first time ever roast lamb with mint jelly as my meats. They were all delicious and I was surprised that I liked the lamb with mint jelly because I was always a little leary to try lamb because I heard it could have a gamey taste. Their lamb didn't not taste gamey at all - well seasoned and roasted perfectly. I did enjoy it plain and with the jelly. The turkey was moist and delicious. I dipped it in their brown gravy - again very, very good. Even their split pea soup was to my liking. I enjoyed everything including a small salad and their spiced cake with whipped cream topped off my meal! Even their ice tea was extremely good. I couldn't find fault with anything. We will definitely be back to try their buffet again on a normal day.
