This little place across the street from the lake is small enough to be quaint, but large enough to accommodate a number of diners without too much of a wait. Decor is modest and the atmosphere is generally enjoyable. There are better Italian restaurants out there, though.
Their food is about average and doesn't stand up to the price. Where this place really rubbed me wrong was in the service department. Our waiter essentially did not exist. So much so that people at other tables with the same waiter also were looking around in disbelief. He had to be hailed every time we needed something. Never once did he ask if we liked our food, needed anything else or bring the check without first having to be asked. Put quite simply, I won't be back, thanks to this mustachioed moron.

Very comfortable family dining. Good food served by friendly servers in good size portions. Food is good as is selection. Birthdays and staff whims warrant flashing the neon light sign on the back wall.

The first few times I ate there I was bowled over by the selection but the last two encounters were very tragic. I am not sure if it is the type of chicken they used or the particular dish but the pasta chicken dish was gamey and left a bad taste in my mouth. The wine selection is great and the desserts are wonderful. I just can not get that chicken thing out of my mind. Try something else and you may be happy. They have a Macaroni Grill atmosphere. Very friendly. And ask for Seth...mucho good waiter.

Cosy little place with good food at reasonable prices: good traditional pizzas, pasta and antipasta. While you're there ask them to turn on the "Zza's" lights at the back of the restaurant, it'll brighten your entire day!

Any Resturant that has customers waitng on the sidewalk to get in has something going for it - I'm having trouble believing this one isn't listed - the food is *** with ** prices and family ambiance! They can probably fax you a menu - assuming one appreciates dining - I'd say it's a don't miss!

Good place for a birthday. Tables covered with paper, for crayon use. Pasta is good, baked pizzas and calzones are large. Always check for the specials, as they are often the best.
