Delicious food all made in house with fresh ingredients. Salads are included when you walk in the door. Bread is made to order and so GOOD! Dressings were fresh and tasty! Service was on point and they are willing to make whatever you want, even if not on the menu. (Mind you it was not too busy when we were there) Give this place a try. You won’t regret it!

Just left eating dinner here and the food was outstanding. Big portions, great prices, & unreal quality! The only downside is from the outside it looks run down & not really a dining atmosphere. That is the single downfall. But the server was friendly the food was fantastic and we’ll be getting food from here again 100%! Next time may just be DoorDash/Uber Eats though.

I stopped in tonight after a long day. Decided to try a new spot and my experience was amazing. Luis was very attentive and really helped make my experience enjoyable. The chef also did a great job. The food was fresh, and really good. The atmosphere was just what I needed. What a gem in light street!

My fiance and I tried there today and I must say I haven’t had fresh Italian cooking in a long time and the young man that served us I hope we have him again. We will return soon

No staff when we walked in. Other patrons said to sit, but no one came out. Noted a terminal on the wall for ordering. Put in our orders, paid, soon food was brought. The food was very good, service was good after being ignored initially.
