Don't let the cheesy exterior fool you, this place is authentic Italian fare. Once inside, the atmosphere screams Italy. It is family owned and the waitstaff prides themselves on knowing how each dish is created. Music by an excellent Italian singer who played the piano...MoreThank you for stopping by!

Stopped for ice cream after dinner. So many flavors, so many possibilities from hard ice cream to soft serve to gelato to ice cream sandwiches, sundaes, dips, etc. Homemade waffle cones were delicious. The hard ice cream was great. The softserve was bland and the cherry dip lacked flavor. Everything else we had was great and prices were very reasonable. Great customer service - very patient especially considering such a vast menu of choices.
Would definitely return.

Such a cozy, welcoming place. Real hospitality. GREAT FOOD. They treat everyone like family. A delightful experience every time. Very inexpensive, especially considering the quality of the ingredients and the generous portions. You can't go wrong here. Check the specials board...Ric usually has something seasonal and tempting in addition to the extensive regular menu. And ask what desserts Mimi made for the day.

On our last night on beach with group of friends so decided to have pizza in.
We ordered a meat lovers ,sausage, and the supreme type.
Difficult to find parking in this part of town but that's not restaurants fault.
Stood in line to get our pies but they were ready when we got to counter.
This place runs like a well oiled machine.. Even though they were busy they were polite and efficient.
The pies were so hot when we got to car my wife had to put a jacket on her lap.
All 3 pies were very good and spicy.

This is probably the closest you’ll get to a diner in MB. The food is good, the booths are a little small and the turnover is pretty quick. It’s good for a quick in and out breakfast, but nothing special.

Husband and I enjoyed an early dinner at this charming restaurant. Family owned and operated the food served was fresh, hot and delicious. Freshly baked bread and crisp salads were served with the entrees. I had cheese ravioli served with shrimp in a creamy pink vodka sauce. Shrimp were butterflied and sauteed before adding the sauce and ravioli. Food is prepared by Joey, the chef, as the orders are taken. We loved the food and the service; be prepared to wait if there is a crowd. Catering services are available.
