Marilou was our absolutely amazing server and took great care of us. Her recommendations were on point. The prosciutto stuffed olives, Lasagna, and Chicken Picatta were mouth watering and hit the spot for great Italian food! The atmosphere was so neat, still in it's design from the 60s. Lots of history to the restaurant too. Highly recommend!

Best Italian restaurant in area, remember it from all the times I’ve been to Feast of the Assumption, oldest restaurant in Little Italy I believe, our server was awesome, with restaurant for 27 years, had the lasagna and the manicotti, lasagna is recipe from 60 years ago and I can see why, best I’ve ever had, tastes like a mix of hamburger and sausage which I really liked , had the olives and cheese bread as appetizers, olive plate was very good , so good I could have ordered 2 more , cheese bread was also good, atmosphere in restaurant was very nice with a view of the patio, had the lemon cake for dessert, so glad I did , incredible, hope to be back soon , 5 stars for the best lasagna and olive plate I’ve ever had, thank you !

It was like dining in old Italy. I expected to see Tony Soprano or Don Corleone walk in. The service was excellent as was the food. I also loved the older Italian guy with the cigar monitoring the parking lot. House salad and dressing were outstanding. The bread was to die for. We even went down the street to the bakery where they get it from to buy some. Don't miss the garlic cheese toast with marinara! The marinara was superbly homemade I could eat it with a spoon, or better yet more bread to dip! I had seafood with linguini in garlic wine. Fabulous! Shrimp and mussels and calamari cooked perfectly. My daughter had chicken parm and said it was superb. Also had some wedding soup that didn't disappoint! Our waitress was a little lady who said she'd been there for over 20 years! She was dynamic! Will definitely be back! Wheelchair accessibility: I use a walker and it was ok. They accommodated.

My wife and I have looked forward to enjoying a meal at this location. We had read wonderful reviews and being fans of Italian cuisine, we were excited to have a meal here. We were not disappointed with our selections and thoroughly enjoyed the authentic atmosphere. I was transported back to my grandmother's house and the smells coming from her kitchen. We definitely look forward to coming again.
