I’ve worked here since the summer of ‘16. Great food, great people to work for/with. JJ holds his employees to a high standard of service, which a lot of teenage employees can’t handle.

I guess it's the advantage of living in a small town because usually there is only one other table seated when I go here but the pizza is good

Pretty good food, good service and good prices. The only reason I didn't give a five star is that while the food was good, it wasn't exceptionally so. Had chicken parmesan and the chicken was actually chicken fingers, which I thought was a little odd. Everything was also pretty salty, which I realize just could be personal preference as I rarely salt my food. But if I were in the area, I would go there again.

We've been looking for someone to cater our wedding and heard very good things about their food. However, we've attempted to try their Sunday brunch several times in the last few weeks and have not been impressed! Last weekend, their voicemail had not been updated until right before we were about to leave the house. The same voicemail was on their answering machine this weekend and stated they would be closed Sunday July 29, and open Wed-Sun. We checked the voicemail one last time before we left the house this morning at 10:30am (they were supposed to open at 11:00). We then made the 20min drive

Major disappointment. Went there for mother's day brunch 17.99. Wasn't worth more than 7.99. "Salad bar" consisted of lettuce and salad dressings. Pastas were just ok. Fried chicken was good but that alone didn't justify the price. Dessert was jello poke cake. No other options. My daughter got sick from the food. Never again. Won't be back.

The most amazing Italian restaurant you'll find. And the Sunday brunch buffet has the best fried chicken around as well!

Decent Italian fare at a good price with good service. Seats are kinda falling apart and unless you know its there you'd never know it since there is no sign out front.

For the price, this is by far the best Italian food you can get. The in-house made red sauce is still my favorite meat sauce out there. Not to mention their salad, ROLLS, and the pizza, are all great as well. The owner loves his business and loves his customers even more.

Well let me start with service was great. They need a better filtration system for the town water is first complaint. If you get pasta or pizza you will have a great meal but I decided to try the chicken parmigiana big mistake. If you like frozen breaded chicken strips with sauce and cheese you may like but not this guy. Is it really that hard to take a chicken breast and pound and bake it? They gave a whopping size plate of pasta with like three strips of chicken. I was actually thinking of just having protein tonight but was ripped off. The sauce was great but come on almost $15 and three chicken
