I rarely leave reviews, but I definitely needed to write one for this restaurant—this is hands down the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to. I’m a first-generation Italian-American—both of my parents are immigrants from Italy—so finding truly authentic Italian food is rare, but this place comes unbelievably close. The tomato sauce tasted almost exactly like the homemade sauce my family makes, and the entire experience was just incredible.
The service was exceptional from start to finish. A huge shoutout to our waiter, Alex—he was, without a doubt, one of the best servers I’ve ever had. Having worked as a waitress for almost 10 years, I understand how overwhelming a busy night can be, especially during Valentine’s Day weekend, but Alex went above and beyond. Even when we didn’t ask for anything, he checked in on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. He was warm, welcoming, and truly one of the kindest servers I’ve encountered.
The food was just as outstanding as the service. Every dish was amazing, and the cheesecake was probably the best I’ve ever had—light, fluffy, and topped with a crisp crust that I never expected to love as much as I did. It was unlike any cheesecake I’ve had before, and honestly, I preferred it over a traditional one.
Beyond the food and service, the restaurant itself has such a warm and nostalgic atmosphere. The decor, especially the pictures of Italian immigrants, reminded me of my own family and the time I spent growing up in Italy. It felt like home. Nowadays, it’s hard to find a restaurant that delivers authentic Italian food, a welcoming ambiance, and exceptional service all in one—but this place does exactly that.
And on top of it, the prices were not bad at all. I’ve been to places that didn’t have nearly as good food, service, or atmosphere and ended up paying much more.
A final shoutout to the busboy as well—I didn’t catch his name, but he was also very kind and attentive. The entire team made us feel valued and taken care of, and I truly appreciate that.
I highly, highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Italian food and an unforgettable dining experience!
