A welcoming, family-style Italian on Whitney Ave praised for friendly service, generous portions and a festive, comfortable atmosphere that suits celebrations and large groups. Clean dining areas and private rooms complement attentive staff who often remedy mistakes. Expect strong classics alongside inconsistent execution—some dishes arrive underseasoned or undercooked—and occasional slow seating and limited accessible tables. Overall, it’s a cozy spot for casual dinners and events, worth visiting for reliable warmth and conviviality if you accept variable consistency on certain dishes.

Great family style Italian restaurant. Ordered the specialty chicken risotto the veil saltimbocca. Both delicious. The attire was relaxed and the place was busy on a Sunday night. Service was friendly. Food was delicious. Value was fair. I felt like 4 stars feels right, as it's not a destination restaurant. But it is a fantastic local Cafe.

I ordered escarole and bean soup. A little salty and the escarole was not tender. It was tough and needed to be cooked more. My friend ordered the Summer salad and they forgot to put the prosciutto in it but immediately brought it when we told them. Goodservice and nice atmosphere
