The family and I came during lunch hour yesterday. The atmosphere, food, and value was unbelievable! I have tried Clams with white sauce in 5 different states, including New York and this restaurant takes 1st place in all categories! We ordered Cheesey bread sticks for an appetizer (photo)... DELICIOUS! For the entree we ordered Clams w/ white sauce, Shrimp (allowed to substitute the clams) w/ white sauce, and a large pepperoni pizza (photos). If you're looking for authentic Italian food, this is you best option, seriously!!!!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

We ordered trays of eggplant parm and chicken parm for Christmas dinner and were very disappointed. Most of the trays were filled with pasta, with very little eggplant or chicken. The chicken parm wasn’t even breaded. When ordering these dishes, customers expect the trays to mostly contain what they ordered. If a large portion will be pasta, this should be clearly communicated in advance. When we contacted the restaurant, they only offered a replacement, which wasn’t helpful since the event had already passed. A partial refund would have been more appropriate. Very disappointed with both the food and the customer service.
