ordered the italiano salad with grilled shrimp to go. packaging was good, shrimp were very tasty. the salad tho was almost inedible. chopped romaine (ok), canned pimento (yuck) kalamata olives (i've had better) mozzarella (terrible!) dressing (pedestrian). not asking for much, but decent ingredients in a salad is not much to ask. make it roasted red peppers and BETTER mozzarella and now you have a reason to return

We like this cute BYOB and usually they delivery, sometimes things aren't as good as you would like. They bread is good, they forgot our appetizer we had to wait forever, we ordered a special we were not keen returned it.Smallish portions. Not too impressed will return to give them another chance, if we have another negative experience we will not return.

Above average pizza with a nice bar. Walk through the standard pizzeria in the front to the back where the space opens up to two medium sized seating areas and a good bar. The pizza is above average and they have a good variety. The bar is well stocked and they have a rotating group of micro brew beers to keep patrons coming back. The servers were very friendly and courteous.

We decided to try this place and it was actually quite good. Part bar part restaurant, the place is nothing special but the service was quite friendly and good. Eggplant rollatini appetizer was generous and tasty if covered with a bit too much cheese. Rigatoni with broccoli rabe and sausage in garlic oil was delicious. Minestrone soup was watery and disappointing. Would come back to try the pizza next time.

The restaurant is a lovely white tablecloth kind of place, with excellent top-drawer service to match. We had excellent service from everyone from the host, to the bartender, to our waiter and servers, even the owner seemed friendly and engaging. Our food was good, but not great. I tasted fried calamari, fried zucchini sticks for appetizers. I had a pesto shrimp over angel hair pasta. Both the appetizers and the entree were good, but kind of ordinary. My wife and friends said the same about their food. The dishes were also a bit pricey for what they are. Full bar.

Ordered a cheese pizza in and it was delicious! Dripping with melting cheese and a perfect crust! Even my picky 2 year old wouldn't stop eating! Ordered eggplant parm entree. Pleasantly surprised to get nice size portion with perfect al dente pasta. Definite best pizza place in Middlesex but be forewarned take out or eat in only!! Worth the extra few minutes in the car!!

We usually never get delivery but we were having a Karate birthday party for my son and we knew that this place had delivered to that location before for parties. We have gotten food here several times before and were happy enough with their pizza. Delivery was right on time and even though we ordered too much by double, I know it will be enjoyed at home. I've eaten about 4 slices so far and it is good as usual. I do prefer to get meatball topping here though for my personal pizzas to take out.

We went to this restaurant on a weekday night and it was not busy, therefore there was no excuse for the poor service. Our waitress was more interested in chatting with people she knew than helping my husband and I. After reading us the specials and taking our order, she did not reappear to ask if we needed anything...did we want more water? Did we want more bread? In fact, we had to get up out of our seats and find another waitress who promptly brought us some water. Our salad plates sat empty in front of us for over 20 minutes. The table next to us was left uncleaned off until almost 30 minutes into our visit. .when someone finally decided to clear it off and clean it...I had never seen that in a restaurant before. I do have to say our meal was very good and plentiful. So I can't fault the food...But the poor service did indeed put a damper on our meal....I would hate to see how awful it could be if the restaurant were busy! I do have to say the young waitress whom we found was very pleasant and tried to be somewhat helpful but the older waitress could have cared less. Nice parking and pleasant décor, but I'm not sure we will be back too soon.

We always have our business dinners here because the food is fresh and well prepared, and everyone leaves happy.Everyone enjoyed their dinner, only one complaint that the swordfish special was a tad dry.Don't forget your wine it's a BYOB and you should reserve it is always busy. I will return and recommend.

A regular destination. We come here in small to large groups often. The food is always excellent and we are treated like family. The proprietor has a wonderful operatic tenor voice and will lead a chorus of "Happy Birthday" or offer his rendition of "O Solo Mio" when appropriate. I recommend Sunday Gravy or Zuppa di Pesce.
