Good Italian food at reasonable prices

by GiovannaAdria at Citysearch

They served lunch for 33 of our family members today. All of the food was very good: thin crust pizzettas, fried calamari, penne, chicken marsala and chicken parmigianna. Even the table wine was good. Oh, and the pizza bread with hot dipping oil was a good start. The service was friendly and efficient. Thank you for making our get-together successful.

• Pros: They know what al dente means
• Cons: None that we saw

Amazing Everything!

At first I was confused because the restaurant was at capacity and I didn't see a podium where names were being taken for seating. I asked a few patrons outside and was told to just hang around until the owner comes out and acknowledges you. But don't get me wrong, this place is totally unpretentous and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Great for family and friends to gather. It might be a bit busy for a low key romantic date but trust me, the food will probably outshine your date hands down!

Alex, the owner, is super attentive to every one who walks through the door. He has obviously rubbed off on his staff because no matter who you grabbed, they were equally attentive.

Alex was aware that this was our first visit and took his time to go over the menu with us. once he realized that there were many dishes that we had never heard of let alone tried, he encouraged us to try something new and even assureds us that if we were not happy with it tha he would replace it with another dish that we were familiar with, free of charge.

From the calamari, to the steak, shrimp scampi, roasted duck, and pasta...there wasn't one thing that we didn't love!

This was the first time that I enjoyed a meal starting with the bread basket to my expresso after dessert.

I didn't mind the wait and I will definately be back there for all special occassions and everything in between!

Thank you alex and thanks to your staff. This is the first time I couldn't wait to get home and add to the reviews for a restaurant.

• Pros: Service & Food
• Cons: No formal seating list. Confusing for new comers like me.

Unbelievable Food

by taximom3k at Citysearch

It started with the bread, the thin pizza with the garlic olive oil that was given complimentary when we sat down. I knew then I made a good choice. Friendly service, I felt like family and it was my first time there. The food was excellent from the grilled pulpo to the spicy calamari to the Black Linguine with fresh crabmeat and shrimps to the branzino and lamb chops. So many different varieties of food under one roof. This really felt like home. I come from Westchester and I wish I had a Patricia's where I live.

• Pros: Feels like family
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?
