Would give it a zero if I could. I tried the pasta and steak it was so disappointing. Andrew and the staff were not welcoming when I arrived. I waited for 30 minutes, and it just wasn't a good impression overall. Not a good choice for authentic Italian food. Anyone with more than one star was paid for sure or is a friend of theirs.

I have been to many food establishments but this is a one stop shop that rivals them all. I was blown away with the variety of meat in the butcher department all summer long. My wife & friends love the sandwiches too. I just had the stuffed pork chops and was so impressed that I called the store. If you haven’t visited them yet please take my word for it stop in for a 5 star meal as well as great service!
