Description

Nestled in northern Baltimore County, this family-run Italian spot is celebrated for authentic, fresh-made pizzas and hearty pasta served in generous portions. A spotless kitchen, fast, friendly counter service and unbeatable value keep locals—and drivers from nearby Rosedale—coming back. No-frills ambiance, efficient staff (mask-wearing cooks), and popular fried sides round out a reliably delicious, down-to-earth experience that many call the area's best.

I recently discovered this restaurant, and we visit once a week, even though it’s a bit of a drive. Everything is fantastic! The service, cleanliness, and food are all EXCELLENT. We absolutely love it! If you're looking for the best Italian cuisine and don’t need any fancy frills, this is the place to go—you won’t be disappointed!

As locals this is the only place we will go to get pizza! The pasta dishes are always excellent, especially the penne in meat sauce!! Portions are very large for entrees, definitely one entree can be split by two people easily. Wonderful local eatery, we are lucky to have them!

Super friendly staff! Authentic italian, the absolute best on the whole northern Baltimore county. I live in rosedale and will drive for this place when I think Italian food. Oh and it's super flippy clean, Idk ive ever seen a small pizza spot with such a clean kitchen that I could eat LITERALLY from that clean. The cooking staff also wears masks and is friendly to all customers. 50/10 recommended! Mangia E Statti Zitto!

Stop by here Friday March 11,2022 little after noon and the place was hopping. After getting our order i understood why it was hopping. Rarely do i find cheesesteaks or onions rings done to my liking. They both were tasty and up for order again. I ordered sausage and pepper spaghetti to take home And was not disappointed. Wow it is also tasty. I am willing to try different items now on menu- like the shells and manicotti and their pizza. The guys behind the counter were very attentive and fun. For the amount of people here they are really efficient. I want to say please dont go here because u will probably like it and bring in more customers- making it busier- but i couldnt do that since it is not fair to the establishment or to you! If you like northern Italian cooking- this is a must try.
