Maggie and I ate dinner there the other night and my dinner was excellent! I wanted to have the veal parmigiana but with... bolognese sauce instead of the marinara sauce and the chef/owner made it for me! Outstanding! When does that ever happen thata chef makes something you specially requested? Only here! You have to try this place! Read more
I have been coming here for many many years and it hold such a special place in my heart. I will ALWAYS order the tricolored... tortellini, garlic bread, and the house salad (creamy garlic dressing). The Cesar salad is also amazing! You really have to lovegarlic to come to this restaurant. The people are the best and become like family if you keep coming back. BYOB for dine in.Take out is also amazing. Large portions and pasta always reheats very well. LOVE IT! Read more
Food exceptional as always. Generous portions. Waitress efficient, helpful and friendly. One of my favorites.
The menu appeared promising and the server was offering additional options but unfortunately the chef was unable to deliver.... Very disappointing experience with some of the plates completely inedible - if it was convenient we would have walkedout. Robert Irvine could make a great show with this establishment and be extremely critical of the plates we ordered. Be leeryof dining here if you know how to cook and season food. Read more
Our party of three came here to treat a friend to a birthday dinner. He suggested this restaurant having eaten here once before... and remembered their food well. My partner and I had high hopes thinking of the amazing eatery in North Stonington that hasexceptional food under the same name. A casual room for diners, there is no bar, so it's BYOB. No complaint in terms of thesavings, as the corkage fee per bottle is $2.50. This in itself is a draw if you don't mind food that is simply okay. We broughtsixty dollars of wine from our house stock and paid five bucks to drink it. Good deal. Waiting to be seated, we saw thespecials menu had a list of things that were not available, including the lamb I hoped to order. My partner wondered why theyjust didn't list what was available. Moving on, as soon as we sat down, we were asked if we wanted the garlic cheese bread. Wesaid yes, though I'm not sure it was complimentary. It had a good texture. We ordered two appetizers. Our birthday guest wantedto try the roasted peppers in balsamic vinegar with Kalamata olives a second time. My partner saw on the specials board stuffedclams and chose those. The peppers were cooked through and had the flavor it should. The stuffed clams resemble the stuffedclams one can buy in a grocery store's fish department. A small mixed greens salad came with our mains and the house dressing.The three mains were Chicken Marsala, Shrimp Provencal and a Chilean Sea Bass featured on the specials board. It took some timebefore our entrées came to the table.The Chicken Marsala was not the classic version by including tomatoes. The ShrimpProvencal was served not quite as described, but okay. Most dishes here are served on angel hair pasta - even the filet mignonand leg of lamb. New to me... For $29.95, my Chilean Sea Bass was a mystery fish, under a large ladle full of what wascomparable to Hollandaise sauce. At best, it was four oz. in size. In N.Y., CA or many other places, this fish is a hi Read more
What a delightful find! This hole-in-the-wall restaurant doesn?t look like much from the street. But the menu has an excellent... variety, the portions are generous, and the food is delicious. The risotto was cooked to order! The meal came with a large bowlof freshly grated parmesan. And the chocolate decadence cake was divine. The owner told me that they?ll be celebrating their30th anniversary this coming January, and I can see why they?ve lasted this long. Read more
