"Famous for his mole, chef Francisco Lopez, also known as “Chef Paco,” has featured the dish since he opened his suburban restaurant 30 years ago: “Back when not many people knew about it,” he says." - Brenda Storch

Great shop full of deliciousness. I had the lobster roll, it was the best I have had since I was in Boston last. The sub sandwich was amazing, had to wait 10 minutes while they baked the roll, then it was piled high with house cured meats and cheese, crisp veggies. Wonderful

We purchased a variety of items to try - sauces, spaghetti, fettuccine, bread and pizza. Ate the slice of pizza right after leaving. Came back to order even more slices because it was so delicious. Definitely worth the 2 hour drive from our home!

I miss this place so bad. Gaetano is a wonderful chef and person. He greats everyone with open arms and laughter. His entrés are resplendent-he is a true Jack of all things delicious. Try the “Chef’s tasting menu” it is delicious and a really great time getting to know the chef himself!

I have been here twice and left both times thinking that was the best food I have had in a very long time. Due to my own dietary restrictions, I was advised by our waiter to avoid the chef's tasting. Me and my wife ordered off the menu and absolutely loved our food. This is a true gem and we will be back again.

We met friends and sat outside. Had an eggplant parm sandwich that was big enough for 2 or for a second meal. It was so delicious! We filled a bag with more good food to bring home. Love this place!

This used to be a restaurant. It has been changed into a wonderful carry out business.The owner, Gaetano is a brilliant chef who makes delicious sausages, pasta, pizza and a ridiculously delicious doughnut among many other authentic Italian delights. You will not be disappointed here

This place is absolutely amazing! Walking in i knew i was in for a treat. The place looks very nice and the service is very good. I ordered the cold meatball sandwich that the guy attending me recommended and let me tell you this is the best sandwich I've ever had! I highly recommend this place!!!!

Ok, so I went here for the first time 1 year ago and had the Chefs tasting and it was AMAZING, so my wife and I went back for our anniversary recently and had the Chefs tasting and it was just not good. The apps were all fried or burnt in their wood fire grill and the meat dish we had was awful. The waiter described it as a meatloaf with several different meats. It was brown and littlerally looked like someone turned over a can of dog food and put it on the plate and dumped some gravy on it and the taste was AWFUL..we bith took 1 bite and could it stomach any more. To spend $200 and get that as our anniversary dinner was really disappointing. We are not sure if we will go back and if we do the chefs tasting menu is off the table.
