We arrived 5:30pm on weekend for our reservation. There were two tables seated before us. The floor plan and seating area are much better than the former Amalfi Ristorante Italiano closed last year. There are quite a few pictures and art works on the walls. We ordered four sets of pre fixe three course dinners. Our first course appetizers are Bowl of Crab Soup, Calamari, Fried Zucchini, and Tapas Sampler. Our second course salads are Goat Cheese Salad, Portobello Salad, Caesar Salad, and House Salad. Our three course entrees are Dad's Crab Pasta, Chicken Piccata, Grilled Salmon, and Parmesan Cod. All dishes were well cooked and prepared as usual. We waited 10+ minutes to order desserts, but none of the waiters and waitresses actually stopped by our table, so we gave up on ordering. It took another 10+ minutes to receive our check and to complete our payment. When we walked out of the restaurant, the whole dining area were full, plus there were more ten people waiting to be seated. Their food are delicious and so popular. They probably need to enhance the staff and service before losing patrons. For example, if the staff can serve our desserts and provide our check shortly, they can seat others much earlier.

Amazing experience as it always has been. For 30 years this has been our spot,I have been coming here since childhood. The food, people and atmosphere is why we always come back!

Really loved this place before they sold it. We ordered here as soon as they opened back up under new ownership hopefully to get the same great taste.
But unfortunately the pizza was burnt, no bread came with the meal, our banana crème dessert tasted like they used old milk and my crab pasta barely had any crab in it.
I gave then an opportunity to fix it, but a few empty messages and no real refund or fix.

What a fun surprise of a restaurant! It's in the most unassuming area surrounding by industrial type buildings and not noticeable. It's definitely got an old-world Italian restaurant feel. Service was nice and quick enough. The food was surprisingly good. Burrata special and fresh mozzarella and tomatoes were both delicious. The salad with goat cheese was also great. Rigatoni with meatballs was good, and rigatoni with bolognese was phenomenal. The grilled branzino was also excellent. Chianti was a nice choice. The limoncello mascarpone cake was truly something special. Light, moist, perfectly balanced. We highly recommend it! Parking is ok, but limited. Family friendly.

Been eating here since I was a kid. The WHITE PIZZA is incredible. For dessert the cannoli is wonderful. Large portions so I can have lunch the next day. My only complaint is I live an hour away and can't eat here as often as I'd like
