Will not be back  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

This place is creepy from the beginning. Even before I set foot in the building something didn't seem right. The atmosphere felt more like a reception hall and a bad wedding. Unfortunately the rest of the night lived up to the first impressions with bad food and service.

Great for special occasions, large or small 5 Star Rating - World class

My family wanted to hold a special birthday celebration. The owner was very accommodating -- we were encouraged to come in early and decorate (we were given a corner table and took it over for the entire evening!). The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful, and they really treated us like family.

I had never eaten there before, so I wasn't sure what to expect as far as the food quality but there was no need to worry. Several of us had the evening's specials and a few had regular menu items, and every plate was clean by the end of dinner......no complaints at all! The same evening there was a large event in the private room across the hall, but the facility managed to handle both the regular diners and the special event without any problems (good parking, facility wasn't crowded, etc). We'll definitely be back for dinner and will keep it in mind for any special/large events in future!

Pros: good food, great service
Cons: a little pricey for the area

Italiano Anyone?! 4 Star Rating - Very good

The experience for me was good. My Fiancee brought me there because his father knew the owner. He treated us like family, and gave us extra special care, and a free dessert. I had the linguini with clam sauce it was good, a bit gritty tho'! Other wise a great experience...

Pros: Good Service, Good Food
Cons: Not Ecsactly Gourmet

Moderate prices and elegant environment. 5 Star Rating - World class

I had lunch there with ny boss last week. It was perhaps the best Prime Rib sandwich that I've had in a long time. The meat was tender and juicy, and the fries were perfectly done. my boss ordered the calamari steak and was pleased with the food as well as the presentation.

The portions were generous, the wait staff was excellent and very professional. All in all I was more than satisfied with the quality of the meal and level of service, especially considering the moderate prices and elegant environment.

Pros: All
Cons: None

Continental cuisine dream 5 Star Rating - World class

I was very pleased with the welcome at the front desk. They made us feel like we were regulars (even though it was our first time there). The ceasar salad was made at our table and that is something you don't get in restaurants often. And it was delicious.....The service was great and so was the chicken toscona. If you are a creme bruele fan you must go there to try. My husband and I will be regulars....thanks Zio's

Pros: service, food

3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

The atmosphere and service was good. Lousy food though. The food did not meet my expectations considering the prices they charge. Preety expensive for mediocre food. The soup came out very salty. I had the calamari steak and it was bland. The garlic was too overpowering. It was smothered with too much parsley and garlic. All I could taste was the garlic and the parsley. My son had the chicken marsala which was so-so. At those prices, we expected better food.
