This is what I can say about the restaurant, food was really good, personal service by the owner Mike. ….. if you want to experience your own personal chef you will be delighted. Enjoy the service and the food “exceptional “. Dinner for two with a bottle of wine one appetizer and two dinners at $200. But worth the money

Owner chef Mike is a very nice guy. I had a "special"of the evening that turned out to be a gargantuan, thick piece of breaded veal smothered in cheese and sauce. Weirdly, it was served on rice. Salad first was a hot mushroom salad. That turned out to be a tossed salad with some tasteless sauteed mushrooms with a O and V dressing. Also a huge portion. Dessert - i ordered the canoli. It was huge. But the shell was rock hard and the filling runny. Tasted ok though. On a positive note, the wine was good. And the music great. Martin, Sinatra, Darin-- standards at a good volume going on all night. Plus the restaurant has the feel of a 1950's60's Italian joint, and I love that. I would go back. This time I would order something very simple.

My fiancé and I were looking to celebrate a special occasion and this restaurant seemed from the outside like a cozy place for us to have a quiet meal. Boy! We were SO DISSAPOINTED. We started with an antipasti: “caprese di buffalo”. How can you screw something as easy as that! A 5 yo would have made a much better job presenting this dish, the tomatoes had zero flavor and we have had much better cheese from publix, that’s for sure. Now onto the entrees. And while we understand that the host/waiter/chef had no power over flavor of cheese and tomatoes. How can you make a dish with chicken, tomato, prosciutto and cheese become absolutely tasteless? Maybe we were lucky! at this point probably better off not the be able to taste anything. My pasta was essentially just a canned tomato soup with overcooked pasta. Clearly he just opened up a bag of frozen peppers and threw them in there. Bottle of wine absolutely overpriced for an OK wine. Our pockets hurt. And let’s not even go to what the place looks like. It’s dark, dirty, dusty with boxes and things laying around all over the place. Do not make the same mistake we did, we should have left right after we walked in. How does anyone in good conscious would call themselves a restaurant and charge the prices they do for garbage. This is clearly a rip off. How do they get away with that?

Best Itai food I have since I was in Italy! Just Phenomenal. Intimate unassuming restaurant took in out family of 5 and blew us away. Michel is the owner, chef, and waiter. Pasta Vincenzo, chicken Parm, chicken Marsala, penne vodka with chicken and shrimp pasta devoured and shared among the whole family. The bacon ceasar salad and the eggplant stack appetizers all were soooo good. Well done Sir!, We will be back next time we are in town.

Horrible food, mediocre service. I had their short rib and pasta special. The short rib was not cooked in sauce, very fatty, and burned on one side. The pasta was in a red sauce and I am being kind calling it a sauce. I have had thicker tomato juice. My wife had their lobster ravioli in cream sauce special. She couldn’t even eat it. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Horrible, horrible, horrible!!’ Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly at all, no booster chairs, no kids portions!
