Reliable Italian restaurant with good portions and fair prices. The chicken parmesan is crispy on the outside and tender inside.

Classic Italian dishes done right. The pizza has a perfect crispy crust, and the pasta dishes are generous portions with authentic flavors.

Good Italian food in a casual setting. The margherita pizza has fresh mozzarella and basil, and the pasta dishes are satisfying and flavorful.
