The minestrone soup was steamy hot just like mom's kitchen. Spaghetti with mushroom marinara was perfectly steamy hot temperature.The garlic bread was perfectly crisp. What else can I say? I think this place definitely deserves a 5 stars rating from ourdinner experience tonight. Hope they keep up their excellent work! We will be back.

Manicotti with mushroom marinara was okay but definitely nothing special, same with garlic cheese bread. Chicken pasta soup and spaghetti con pomodoro were pretty gross, my partner couldn?t even finish them. Staff was not friendlyeither.

I like the atmosphere there and the tall backs between booths make it seem private and I prefer itthat way. pizza is good size for 2 people and taste is great. the lunch menu is not the full dinner menu it's is cut way downand simplified just so you know. I think it's perfect amount of items and a good selection of items where chosen for the lunchmenu. try it out.

I have only good things to say about it and their food is delicious for a good price and comes with a welcoming atmosphere! My boyfriend and I are new to the Portland/Beaverton areafrom the Midwest. We tried this place out for our anniversary dinner in March and have kept coming back! I am half Italian andbeing so far from family, I get homesick for that home-cooked Italian food. I don?t really like mushrooms but their mushroommarinara tastes the closest to my grandma?s sauce of any restaurant I have ever tried. When we went for our anniversary, I diddress up in a dress and heels and it was not weird but definitely a more casual, family-style place. I?ve seen a family orcouple celebrating an event or occasion here every time I?ve gone so it is good for if you want a quick bite or a nice dinner.My boyfriend loved the chicken parmesan and gets it every time and I have tried a few different vegetarian options and reallyloved them. It is a good atmosphere with really friendly and kind staff. We have never had a bad experience or bad meal fromhere and their staff always makes us feel so welcomed. This is probably one of my favorite places we have come across sincemoving to Portland and always cures a bout of homesickness. For groups, you can usually expect to spend $15-20 per person ifyou aren?t having wine and appetizers and about $25-30 if you are. Take out is easy and doesn?t take very long unless they arebusy. About 30-40 minutes during rush on a Saturday night, so if you?re ordering take out and in a rush, order ahead of time.
