I had dinner here with my ten-year-old daughter, and the experience was uncommonly, unexpectedly, wonderful. We were treated great. As soon as we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and cozy. It was a cold, rainy, dark night, and my daughter exclaimed immediately, "it smells so good here. And it's WARM!" We were seated in a corner booth, and enjoyed discussing the various decorations. Our food was delicious, and the portions were generous - especially for my daughter's fettuccine alfredo from the children's menu. Our server was sweet and thoughtful. We were brought a basket with two types of bread (including some variation of garlic bread that was fabulous). My daughter's meal included a small ice cream. She noted also that our seats actually were wiped down for us. Afterward, I enjoyed discussing the history of the restaurant and its place in the area with one of the owners. Anyway, we had a special night, and I'm thankful and wanted to say a word about it.

server gave the appearance of being rushed. Items brought to the table did not have a good presentation look to them. IE: Wilted lettuce below salami on antipasto plate. Salad was not pretty either. Lots of wilted old looking lettuce and 1 really sad looking halved cherry tomato. Server never came back to check on us after delivering food?

Always my favorite Italian cusine. That includes anywhere on the planet. Portions are very generous and cooked to perfection each and every time. The family run business is so friendly we feel like long time family members too. A must try for all of you that haven't yet. You won't regret it. Enjoy

server was excellent, food has not been consistent from visit to visit. raviolis tasted like they were frozen and hard, No flavor. Spaghetti was excellent as well as the meatball!. Love the new artisan facossia bread. Salad lettuce was huge and didn't have the extra veges as time previous. Time previous looked like a salad mic with baby greens, this time looked similar to iceberg lettuce. Dissapointing

The food tasted good and the service was good. We had a ravioli dish and the waitress asked if we wanted it covered with cheese or just sauce. Didn't know there was an extra cost for those things, it would be nice if she'd said something about that.

had not been in for over 2 years due to the way we were treated when we paid our bill with the restaurant.com coupon. Food was mediocre at best then. Very surprised at the food turn around. salad used real greens and good blue cheese dressing. bread delicious. sauce and pasta so very good. no hassle at checkout or being made to feel bad. also nice having the restaurant lit better inside (maybe work on the parking lot next- pretty dark out there in the evenings)

a group of six us of stayed overnight after attending a wine and food festival at the holiday inn and also attended the chowderfest the next day. bookmakers could not have been nicer. the other 2 couples we were with also had coupons and the manager allowed us all to sit at the same table and use our coupons for the breakfast buffet since we all has stayed the night. most importantly, shelly, our hostess was excellent. she was friendly, helpful and made you feel welcolmed... little touches like bringing us extra pots of coffee and to go cups to take with us when we left. in short, what a great experience! we will most certainly return. FYI, the happy hour on fri and sat nights is also very good...the 6 of us had a drink and 30 wings between us and the tab was about $43...enjoyed the free freshly popped po corn.

I wish my side salad had been larger. The bread and antipasto were included with the chicken parm, but I really did not eat any of that. It was the salad I was interested in and I had to pay additionally for that. I just wish it had been a little larger. It was good but I felt like I would have enjoyed more fresh greens. The chicken parm was excellent!
