Mumma Maria's House

Found this place on open table. Reservations have to be made but it is a small place, actually it is a house that took the Uber driver a min to find. It's a hidden gem! The food is excellent authentic Italian food, the atmosphere is very friendly & homie style & the wine had a rich divine flavour. Mr. G loves to talk about how he started his restaurant and his staff Billie and Olivia were excellent servers. They could all answer questions about each dish. Definitely try the meatballs but you won't be disappointed by any dish.

Best experience we've had in ages. We called to get in at the last minute and soooo excited we did. The meal was like being back in Europe and being presented with the most amazing food at quantity. Salad, cheese bread and meatballs found their way immediately on the table...and these meatballs will change your life. You will write poetry about them. You will dream about them. You may leave your husband for these meatballs. The salad is old school in the best way. Tomatoes chopped in a vinaigrette laid on super fresh greens. Cheese bread is so crispy and made on sesame bread. So simple and super perfect. Then the main courses...get the ribs on the pasta. It's divine. The chicken parm can feed a small village. The baci tortellini in palomino sauce is surprisingly light...soft, tender and angelic. If you don't have leftovers I'd be shocked. The desserts are bountiful. Almond cake, limoncello cake, tiramisu, chocolate.. etc etc. Let them pour you table wine to get the authentic experience. It's like Nonna's house in all the right ways. We'll be back religiously.

I hate using the expression "hole in the wall" but this is the very definition. You could completely pass this place and not know what you are missing! There are no frills, nothing fancy about this place. Thank god they don't even have the stereotypical decor of an Italian restaurant. Just family photos and good food! You really feel like you just went to visit a friend's house and their mom decided to keep you for dinner and trust me you will not be disappointed! Try their meatballs as that is where Mumma Maria's got their start! Absolutely a must visit! Reservations are required and can be found on Open Table.

I fell for the heartfelt reviews with this one. That and the promise of outstanding Ameritalian food. But while the service was great and the ambiance filled with warm hole-in-the-wall charm - the food was mediocre. Sauces were bland, chicken was dry, gnocchi tasted like it was from a package. For $25 a plate, it's reasonable to expect fresh ingredients at least.

Extremely well thought idea with traditional respect. Our server Anthony was phenomenal and accommodating to our group of 10 people, kids included. He recommended a family style idea and we practically ordered a taste of everything and passed around family style. Although they have incredible individual portions on their menu, Anthony was able to catch our vibe and make the dinner service impeccable for my Dad's Birthday celebration. We are Detroiters and this place hits the mark on old school Italian American cuisine. Worth multiple visits!

Excellent Restaurant. Very intimate setting and high end Italian food - the best Italian food in Michigan. The service was a bit slow but the food is the real charmer. It doesn’t leave you feeling heavy like many other restaurants. The ingredients are fine, clean, and high end. It’s a tasted in this meal.

This place is awesome. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. We went early on a Saturday night and sat on the outdoor patio with our dog. Service was friendly and attentive, and we really enjoyed the ambiance - totally different than any other restaurant in Detroit. We started with the cheese bread & meatballs which were both fantastic - super flavorful. For our mains we shared the chicken parmesan & the cheese ravioli with palomino sauce & pork. We couldn’t finish everything, but we can’t wait to have our leftovers for lunch tomorrow! We will DEFINITELY return. Truly a hidden gem - just go, you won’t be disappointed!

This place is TOP NOTCH. If you want real authentic Italian food that taste like it came right out of your family's kitchen then this is your spot. I moved here from NY and before finding this place nothing compared to back home. Not to mention the gentleman that seats you and takes care of you is very welcoming and attentive.

Family loves Mumma Maria. We usually get carry out and their sandwiches are so yummy. Their dining room is fun and feels like a house. The staff are very friendly.

I was very glad that this restaurant/take-out counter was opened during lunch as I was in the neighborhood and wanted to stop by for some Yelp-approved pasta. The restaurant is located near well-known places along Kercherval, chief among them, Marrow and Sister Pie. I opted for take-out even though it would be a long drive home, ordering from the separate take-out counter. I went with the 4-cheese baci, a pasta stuffed with soft cheese, the meatballs for extra protein, cheesy bread on a sesame bun, and limoncello cake. The first two choices were based on the recommendations of the staffer. The baci featured tender pasta, in an appetizing palomino sauce. I liked this a lot. The meatballs were a bit dense, so I wasn't a fan. The cheesy bread was a bit overcooked but that could have been due to the long ride home. I did like the fact that they were made with flavorful sesame buns. I'm so glad that I went with the limoncello cake, how can you go wrong with it? The staffer was friendly and energetic. He went out of his way to help me (I was looking for a nearby business while I waited for my meal) and I very much appreciated his assistance.

This is truly a unique experience and it feels like someone is cooking for you in their home. Such a cute setup in what looks like "Grandma's Kitchen." I will 100% come back for the pasta - it's perfect. We had the baci, which are pasta blossoms, and the portobello mushroom ravioli - both with the creamy tomato Palomino sauce. Excellent! Homemade, perfectly al dente yet tender pasta with a savory sauce served piping hot. Delicious. Also, big pours on wine, and they have an excellent selection. Service was top-notch. The only reason for 1 less star is the salad was a bit wet and the dressing lacked flavor - but all the ingredients were fresh and they use nice greens. The prices are just a little high for the salad not to be perfect, I think. The restroom could also use some love, but it wasn't dirty or anything. Just a bit worn looking. Overall an enjoyable dining experience and it would be fun to take people here. Don't skip the pasta course!

Picture says 1000 words. Home cooking. Inside Mumma's home. Reservations are a must if dining in. Otherwise- takeout and eat on large patio. This review I am going to regret posting because the more buzz, the more foot traffic. But it's really that great. Try the meatballs. Some of the best. And the sauce, primo!! 10/10. Billy and crew were wonderful! Returning real soon.

You feel like your eating in someone else's kitchen. She's Italian and she knows what she's doing!! 5 stars all day long. We keep coming back for this authentic Italian food time and again.

This is a must do place. Service? The owner, Billy . Just like the old Cardinales.....the ambiance? 5-6 small tables, or the patio. The sauce? One of best ever. The Pasta and Food? Truly excellent. Traditional Italian food. I hate to say it: like Roma's used to be. I will be going back: often

The concept behind Mumma Maria's is cute and welcoming, as the building was once a house. I was, however, surprised by the music choice, as it was a mixture of current genres containing explicit lyrics. I personally didn't mind it, but that isn't appropriate at a family restaurant. The service was polite and sufficient. As for the food, it was decent, but overpriced. The meatball appetizer was my favorite dish of the 4 I tried. The cheesy bread was good for what it was. Its dipping sauce didn't taste traditional but was satisfactory. The fettuccini Alfredo was possibly the blandest I've ever had. The chicken parmesan dinner was better, but run-of-the-mill. The nails in the coffin for me were having to pay for water and being charged 3% for paying with a card. I suggest saving your money or going to a quality Italian restaurant instead of coming here.

Reservations needed! Mumma Maria's House is a gem located in Detroit's Indian Village neighborhood. If you've never been, don't be confused, the restaurant is inside of an actual house looking building off of Kercheval. Now let me tell you. The food. Is. Amazing. This isn't a hipster, experimental spot. This restaurant is the classics you know and love executed to pure perfection. Pro tip- don't pass on the meatballs- they're simply excellent. If you're going for a candle lit ambiance, save this one for another day. The dinning room is small (which is why you need to book that table in advance) the lights are bright, and the eating space has the energy of a fun family party at your own mom's house. Give this place a try next time you're craving a home cooked Italian meal- you won't regret it.

I had been wanting to try this place since it opened but hadn't been able to until the perfect opportunity came along. I was waiting in line at Sister Pie for my Thanksgiving pies and another customer was telling me how good Mumma Maria's was and since it was late the night before Thanksgiving and didn't feel like cooking I decided to give it a try. It was a short walk from the pie shop so it was super convenient. The owner was working that evening and he helped me pick out my order. Being Italian I'm skeptical to order red sauce from anywhere and he convinced me to try the spaghetti and meatballs with meat sauce. He's also Italian and studied in Milan. The pasta was homemade which was fabulous and the sauce was very good. Maybe a little too sweet for me but it was great just the same. Meatballs were also very good and this is after I drove home and warmed it up. Also ordered garlic bread that reminded me of growing up, Italians always had to have bread. If you haven't tried it you won't be disappointed. By the way it was more than enough for 2.

Ordered a carry out, to be consumed on their patio. Shared a meatball sub- added Parmesan cheese- a $3 up charge. 2 cans of Diet Coke. Sub was quite good. Everyone has bad days, but owner can certainly be hit- miss with his demeanor. 3 percent added for charge card. $26 out the door.

This place is ALWAYS delicious. It's so quaint and wonderful. Favorite Italian spot to dine at in The D!

Very sad to hear Mumma Maria's is closing. It was a fun experience everyone we went and the food was authentic.

Great visit. Made from scratch Italian comfort food in a cozy setting. Chicken Parmesan- tender breaded chicken over linguini & smothered with homemade marinara & topped with mozzarella. Meatballs covered in palomino sauce. 3 Meat Combo - 3 meatballs, 3 sausage & pork ribs served over & topped with MR G's meat sauce. Delicious! Cheesy Bread with Ammoglio Sauce - great appetizer! A few doors down is Two Birds. Great place for a cocktail before or after dinner (see previous review). Recommend making a reservation. Open Wed- Sun.

It was very easy to find great selections. The menu isn't overwhelming because they focus on homemade Italian favorites. The restaurant is tiny so seating is limited. You feel like a part of the family. You have to try the cheesy garlic bread, which is out of this world, and so were Mumma's kisses! If you're a prissy diner, please don't clog up the dining room while you get mad about the paper napkins; go to Olive Garden and pretend you're having a good time. If you're in for an authentic, homemade Italian meal then sit down and get your fork ready - you will not be disappointed!

I learned about this place, somewhere on social media recently. Everything looked pretty darn good in the photos, so we ventured out to check it out. They are located in the West Village neighborhood, located where 3 homes were converted to business space. There are other small businesses set up in this space. Mumma Maria's is a small carry out, or patio dining Italian restaurant, which looks to be run by a family. Immediately upon walking in, we were greeted with open arms. Being that it was our first time, we were given samples of a few different items to get an idea of what we wanted to order. We tried two different meat balls and a salad. Everything was bursting with flavor. Their meatballs may be one of the best ones I have tried. The meatballs stewed in the tomato sauce were different than the baked ones. The baked meatballs were much more cheesy tasting. Our group ordered a hot sausage sub, meatball sub, and two fettuccini entrees, one with meatballs and one with sweet fennel sausage. The end of our meal was completed with 2 different cannoli's. Both were delicious. The cream inside the cannoli was made with a little magic. Certainly one of the best I have tried around here. I cannot give enough kudos to this place for the fabulous food and service. Mr. G, or as we like to call him, Uncle G, was the most gracious host making sure we were taken care of our entire visit and he also provided history about what led to the opening of his restaurant and the passion behind it all. Please go check this place out if you are looking for some real a** authentic Italian food, made with love.

The absolute best Italian food we've had so far in the US. I didn't realize a simple marinara sauce could be THAT delicious. My partner and I were mind blown. My partner got the meatballs. I love that they have a plant based option (mushroom ravioli). I will for sure come back next time I visit Michigan

Wonderful addition to the neighborhood! All homemade Sicilian style food. Got "3 meat platter w/homemade pasta". Was perfect to feed a Family of 4 to 5 people. Great portions for pricing. Homemade Noodles were cooked perfectly, sauce was excellent, and the meatballs and sausage were amazing. Conveniently located near Sisters Pie for dessert afterward. NOTE: Because everything is homemade highly recommend ordering ahead of time to avoid wait/delay.

This is a lovely little restaurant in Detroit! It took me and my foodie companion a minute to figure out which restaurant in this area it was, no it's not the door next to the neon signs, but eventually we found it. The man who runs the restaurant welcomed us in, a very friendly guy! The day we came was after a little party the staff went to the night before, so many of the staff weren't there, but the food was quick to come out regardless. The meatballs were the best thing in the restaurant, and probably the best meat based food I've ever eaten. Ask about how their meatballs got kicked out of a competition! The Italian bread was amazing as well, best I've had in a long time. The appetizers are where the "amazing!" goes down to "good.." I had the chicken Alfredo and it was not as good as the other food led me to believe. The chicken was slightly burnt and quite dry, and the sauce had an odd taste. Similar to my partners experience with their chicken Parmesan. Overall, please come here for meatballs! Not for the pasta.

The food here is delicious and the young server was attentive and really nice. My first time having an Italian meatball sandwich... delicious! The desserts are good too

My husband really wanted to go. I was humeoring him. It doesn't look like much of a restaurant, more like a hole in the wall. We were greeted by Billy., and let me tell you that his love for this place shined through. Great service. The food was amazing, I cleaned my plate, which is not a common occurrence for me. The rest of my party loved their food as well. Service was amazing. I felt like I was in an Italian grandma's kitchen. We finished the meal with some cannoli's that were amazing. My daughter was even invited in the kitchen to help make them. Check out this little gem of a place. 10/10 recommended.

What an amazing experience to dine at Mumma Maria's House. Mr. G is the host, server, chef, owner. You feel like you're eating at someone's home rather than a restaurant. He brought us samples of various things to try and we sampled a few wines before settling on one. The sauces are amazing. Both the ammoglio and meat sauce...he brought us some cheesy bread to sample both and we loved both. I had fettuccine with meat sauce and two meatballs and one sausage. You can get either hot or sweet sausage. My meal was terrific. Very reasonable prices for great quality and a unique experience. Thanks to Mr. G for the hospitality! We will definitely be back soon.

We brought the family two weekend ago. We always love this place. Great food. Enjoyed eating outdoors on the deck!

Excellent food. Small dining area but cozy. Server was average. Not sure if they worked in a restaurant before. Still don't know what the cardboard containers were for at the table. Would give them a 5 star rating but I hate when a business charges extra for using a credit card!! Just feels cheap and ruins the moment.

Ordered online and received a pickup time 45 minutes later. My husband drove there and arrived 5-10 minutes AFTER pickup time. The person at the counter began SWEARING at him and using the f-word (at 5.30 pm) The manager came out and did not apologize, just said they wouldn't be fulfilling our order and we'd get a refund. Okay.... An apology would've been nice, but things happen. I get that. However hours pass and there's no refund or communication, so I call and leave a message... no response. I had to iron a case with Uber Eats to get my refund and still nothing from the restaurant. Might be delicious but I'll never be going back to find out.

Unreal. Seriously the VERY BEST meatballs & among the best marinara either my wife or I have EVER tasted! Carl has established a wonderful business honoring his late wife & using authentic Italian recipes he hearted from his Grandmother & some of Maria's as well, I think. EVERYTHING here is outstanding. A small but mighty enterprise in a cool & growing area in Indian Village. Picnic tables outside for sandwiches at lunch, but should probably plan on taking home for dinner. Mangia bene!

The linguini pasta and marinara sauce were AMAZING! We also enjoyed cheesy bread with meat sauce, and it was delicious! It's such a cozy place, and Anthony took great care of us! We'll definitely be back!

Inside is so homey. Best meatballs we have ever had. Tastes like a mix of veal and pork with Parmesan cheese. Garlic bread app was great too. Pasta bolognese was good. Waters were bottled and $3 each. We will be back.

Delicious food, unpretentious atmosphere. Perfect escape from the over designed and trying-too-hard establishments popping up everywhere. I do look forward to an update to the lighting, It's pretty harsh, but the word is it's in the works.

Great food always. The house music isn't working with the Italian vibe. The server wasn't happy to be there at all. The owner's son was stomping around in the wood floors and whining. That doesn't make for a great date night in a tiny little restaurant.

I am fan of this small but delicious restaurant. I've never dined in but I do order my food to go so I can sit outside on the patio (obliviously during the summer) or I order and eat at the bar next door (Two birds). I've had the meatballs, little pasta purses with meat sauce, the sausage, and the cheese bread. All of it was served hot and was delicious! I don't live in the area so when I'm on that side of town, I make sure I order.

We got some wine from Two Birds and some 3 Cheese Raviloi from Mumma Maria's House and they paired great. Patio is nice to chill on, the street noise is not very loud at all. I'm picky about pasta and this was cooked well. The filling was creamy but not heavy and and the red sauce was well balanced.

Now.....the Chef will not make an immediate posting...but look. Now.. .you know the Chef seeks AUTHENTICY. And after living in Providence for  10+ years I THOUGHT I knew some Italian Soul Food. Let me tell you about MY visit JUST now. When you get there you might be a little confused on where to go. GOOD....follow the signs. You gotta work for it. Once you sit your ass down you in Mummas House!!!!! Order ya Wine. And prepare yourself. I ordered the Italian Sausage and Meatballs with Fettuccine and Mr Gs meatsauce. Shortly Mr G himself brings out a Meatball Palmino sauce dish to me because he thought it mines. It was for the next table...But I didn't give a DAMN! Next time Palmino.... Then mine came out. Listen... you know when you bite into something and after that..... you just SHUT THE HELL UP! You know thar first bite...that one that make your face ball up and you say softly.."mmmpfh got damn".  That sauce, that meatball that's dense but supple. Hint of Parmigiano and Love. After 20 mins..I came up for air. The guest at the next table of 6 says " Hey Jason, you finished your plate" I just looked at him and couldn't say NOTHING! Then I debated to slide that leftover sauce inna cup to drink, stood up, gave a speech. And gave Mr G a hug. I was about to wash dishes!!!!! After one visit. Your ass become family! He needs to open up some beds....sending my ass out here full like this is a DAMN CRIME!

Was having drinks with some coworkers at Two Birds and we all got hungry and noticed people eating Italian. So we decided to give it a try. Man the food is the BOMB! I ordered the Meatballs Palomino and a toasted almond cake. Both dishes were outstanding and came out quick. Definitely going back soon.

The food is good, but our server would make a great used car salesman. He kept trying to upsell us on drinks and meatballs. Wine is served in plastic cups and we had the worst cutlery I've ever tried to eat with. The decor is like eating in somebody's basement. We had stuff we didn't order on the bill. Maybe the good reviews are from carry out

We ate at Mumma Maria's last December (2022). We were celebrating a couple of family members birthdays, mine included. We were waited on by the owner. He asked if we wanted to start with appetizers to which we all answered "no". Nevertheless, the owner said "let me take care of you" and brought us a tray of appetizers. Due to his offer to "take care of us" we assumed that we would not be charged. We were wrong. They were obviously added to our rather large bill which was never presented to us. To say that the place is totally lacking in charm is to put it mildly. All of the serving ware is disposable, something you would use at a picnic. We were required to set our own table by passing around all of the plasticware. At the end of the evening, the owner slammed a large garbage bag down on the table in front of me, and demanded that I fill it with all of the used serving-ware. What a fun way to spend my birthday. There were several disgusting events that happened as well. The owner gave us a bowl of very sticky nuts and instructed us to pass it around the table. He gave us wet rag that was also passed around to remove the stickiness from our fingers. He then removed the bowl of sticky nuts and gave it to another table! Probably the most memorable part was when the owners rather large dog decided to empty its bladder on the floor at the neighboring table. A disgusting, dirty string mop was brought out to mop up the urine. The mop was then rinsed in the bucket that it came from and the urine was mopped up again. Ewww - never again!

Needing a great meal while on the river with friends from Lithuania.... Mumma Maria's hit a home run! Pasta with ribs, sausage & meatballs was YumE! Carl set out healthy portions of delicious Italian food. Walking out the door he throws in dessert on the house for my guest! We all were full of Carl's delicious flavors and recipes from Italy. I highly recommend you stop by and get a meal to go or dine out on the cool outdoor setting in West Village. Did I mention we all had so much food .... Lunch tomorrow Italian is the plan. Thanks to Carl and his staff! WELL DONE!

Randomly stumbled across this restaurant on social media a couple of weeks ago. After seeing some reviews and pictures of their food, it got moved up on our must-visit list quickly. It wasn't until a friend of ours at a local brewery told us we needed to go ASAP. So, we did, immediately. Located in the West Village neighborhood of Detroit, this cute house-turned-restaurant is a warm welcome to the area. With its large wrap around deck that is shared between multiple small businesses, it is the perfect spot to enjoy a great meal outside and soak in the sun. While I do not want to take the spotlight away from Mumma's, but it's pretty neat that there is a bar, massage parlor, and a forthcoming ice cream shop located in this 3-house block. There is also a nice little "Things from Detroit" shop around the corner and is across the street from the renowned Sister Pie. Now on to the actual food review. The owner, Carl, greeted us at the door and welcomed our little 4-person group in as if we've been friends of the family for years. Upon hearing that it was our first time visiting, he graciously offered us various samples of the food they serve. We started with a 1/2 meatball each that had been cooked in a lovely red sauce. Then a small portion of their Marriage Salad. This had slow roasted pork atop of a bed of lettuce with some interesting sauce. Then finally we tried their baked meatball, which had a bunch more cheese baked into it than the stewed meatballs. After trying those samples, we settled on our order. Dish 1) 8" meatball sub with cheese. The roll they used for this sandwich was wonderfully fresh and filled to the max with sauce, cheese, and their homemade meatballs. This had so much flavor for only being 4 different ingredients. Truly a slam dunk and I think you will be hard pressed to find a better Meatball Sub anywhere else. Dish 2) Fettuccini w/ meat sauce & Fennell Sausage. This dish had perfectly cooked noodles that were slightly cooked just past al dente (my preference). They had the perfect amount of chew and bite. The sauce again was amazing. Thick enough to coat the noodles, runny enough to soak the bottom of the plate with more of their fantastic bread. The fennel sausage had a slight sweetness to it which was complimented nicely by the herb flavor of the fennel seeds. Dessert) We tried both offerings of their cannoli's. The way he presented them gave us 4 different flavor profiles to try while only buying 2 cannoli. One was filled with your traditional sweet cream and the other was filled with a nice ricotta filling. One end of each was dipped into walnuts while the other have in chopped peanuts. While both of the fillings were amazing, I preferred the end with peanuts over walnuts, but that is just a personal preference. Carl has an amazing story as to why he created this restaurant but it is not one I would like to spoil. Instead, I urge you to take an afternoon and go visit him yourself. Throw on some sunblock, order one of his amazing dishes and let him set the scene. It is quite refreshing to have a new restaurant around with an owner who is very passionate and an absolute pleasure to interact with. He deserves 6 stars.

Mumma Maria's serves really comforting and delicious Italian classics. My favorite is the pasta and meatballs. Everything is homemade and the owner is super welcoming.

Feels and smells like my my grandma's kitchen used to. Very small, not fancy, but the food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. Anthony takes care of everything in the front of the house and he was great.

Our party chose to meet at this restaurant due to its location. We were blown away at how tasty our food was. I ordered mushroom ravioli in palomino sauce which was light yet filling. Very good! My friend ordered chicken parm and it was juicy and tender. Extensive wine list. Fun beer selection. Charming patio with limited seating. Attentive and friendly staff!

Delicious FRESH gluten free pasta (check their Instagram for GF recommendations). The ricotta cannoli is also a must-try!

Amazing food! I got the chicken alfredo and my friend got the meatball sub. Fresh bread and very flavorful. The owner was very sweet and friendly and helped us with any questions we had. We got a cannoli sundae for dessert (they have two different flavors!) and it was very yummy. It tasted exactly like the cannolis my family buys for Christmas and really took me back to that memory :) They also have a very nice ambiance this time of year, people were eating outside in the sunshine and everyone was very friendly. Will definitely be returning!!!

Great place with amazing food. It was a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. I would go there again 100%. The manager was very friendly as well! 10/10

My wife and I went to Mumma Maria's House for the first time on a Saturday night, with no reservation. We were seated promptly, and our drink orders taken in a timely manner. My wife ordered the cheese ravioli with an added meatball at the waiter Anthony's suggestion. I ordered the build your own pasta with fettuccine, palomino sauce and meatballs. Our food was fantastic, the service was great. Our food was delayed coming from the kitchen due to a technical issue, and the owner Billy made it right above and beyond our expectations. I will definitely be back and bringing friends. If you cannot find street parking, there is parking in the rear of the building as well.

best Italian food I've had in the area and it got the stamp of approval from my Sicilian father in law. And get the marriage salad, it's so good!

Located in the cutest area, Mumma Maria's made me feel like I was back at my Italian mom's kitchen in 2002, hand-making gnocchi while listening to some beautiful Italian melodies. Mr. G was a true host. I'm a tricky Italian to impress being that I don't eat red meat, but his vegetarian options far exceeded my expectations. I am lucky to have gotten a chance to eat here and will absolutely eat here again.

First of all, had meatball subs and the meatballs were top level. Very tender and enjoyed the sauce. Must have added some sugar. Enjoyed chatting with Mr G. Seems like a great guy. Quirky spot, I would suggest calling for a reservation if it your plan to eat at the restaurant. We enjoyed a couple of beers as well. Mr. G brought us out a few ribs to sample. Man, so good with his sauce. I'll be back for that.

Great casual place to dine outside. Mr. G is not only the owner of this one of a kind hidden gem, but also the chef! His pasta is all homemade and the marriage salad is delicious! His homemade cannoli is unbelievably delicious! I recommend calling ahead so he can be prepared as he does all the ingredient shopping as well. Mr. G is a great guy who will make you feel right at home.

Wow....this was a nice surprise. We weren't really sure what to think before picking up our food, but the food was delicious. I called ahead and told the owner we wanted spaghetti & meatballs and chicken fettuccini alfredo for six. We arrived, he gave us a tour and off we went with enough food to feed at least a dozen people The food is amazing. The meatball sauce is a little sweet (sounds strange-tastes great) and the meatballs are probably the best you'll ever eat. The same can be said about the Sicilian chicken we had with the fettuccini. All the food was delicious, the portions are huge and we'll definitely be back.
