“Outstanding service. The food was good, but it is expensive for pasta. When adding meat, you really need to add two portions. Not a place for growing young men or those who need a large portion”
— Darrin Zimlich, September 29, 2026 · google
“They last minute catered a family pre wedding dinner. They knocked it out of the park! Fettucine Alfredo with Chicken, baked meatballs and Rigatoni were a hit! Thank you!! 5 stars!!”
