One day a few years ago, we popped in for a meal, and we're glad we did. I've talked to dozens of people who have said the same thing. And everyone who I have convinced to give it a go has thanked me afterward. If you can get past the Strip Mall exterior, it's a lovely little Italian joint putting out some solid dishes.
It's not going to win awards for plating or ambiance. (That said, it is nice inside and the food is consistently good.) There are always dinner specials and we usually try one (or two
). I had a short rib over brown butter gnocchi a few weeks ago that was solid. Everything always comes out of the kitchen hot and seasoned. I haven't really had a bad meal here (save a clunker dinner special which is gonna happen from time to time.) There is one dish that I usually order most of the time. It just satisfies my soul.- Lasagna.png (1.19 MiB) Viewed 1846 times
I should also say that the mozzarella sticks are house-made and really just stupid tasty. Our kids demand them when we go. Alongside their house-made bread with some vinegar and oil.
So don't drive by next time! Keep checking out these kinds of spots. You never know when you're gonna unearth a gem. And hey, if you don't like it, there's always a Panda Express next door.
