I first went there for dinner with a friend who recommended the restaurants. For years, walked pas this typical unimpressive pizza parlor. I had never eaten there as it was never on my radar. In the back is a nicer dining room with real table service and tablecloths. The food is traditional. If you want good standard Italian food, this is the place. Was there the first time with just one other friend. Last night a party of eight. We were able to sit and enjoy our meal for 3 hours without being hassled. The service is very friendly but they do seem a bit short staffed when busy but our waitstaff overall was delightful. Unlike many restaurants, we could talk without shouting. Overall, an enjoyable evening. The pricing is reasonable with adequate portions As for the front part of the restaurant, I have yet to eat the pizza so i cannot comment on it.
