We decided to visit because the online menu mentioned they had baked Alaska, which my date had never tried before. When I inquired about it, they informed me that it was no longer available. But then, the owner said, "Wait a moment, let me call my mom." He reached out to his mother, who guided him on how to make it over the phone. By the end of our meal, they brought out a massive, delicious baked Alaska and set it on fire right at our table. Kudos to them for that! Great job, family!

The homemade Italian food was beyond what I expected and I like the decor and the history of this place. I'd highly recommend and I will go there again.

Im a glass half full person and have only ever written good review up until this review. We had a reservation for 10+ people and they made us wait 2 hours for food despite knowing a large group was coming. Food was cold and ingredients not fresh but expensive. Automatic 33% tip included for the most mediocre service. They charged me 60$ for my 30$ meal and the owner insured me I would get refunded but I never did. The only good thing was how cool the decor was.
