    Charles has some very nice dishes at a very reasonable price. I've been a regular customer for years giving testament to its food, and especially it's staff. Truly, the best in town, a nice combination of professionalism and friendship.

    Went there for a family celebration šŸ¾! This is just what my wife and I ordered. Wife got the Shrimp Scampi. Said it was very tasty. I ordered meatballs in marinara sauce for an appetizer. It was very good. Meatballs needed just a little seasoning. I ordered the chicken Marsala. Very good flavor. Everyone enjoyed thier meals. I can see why they've been in business for quite a while. 😁

    The service/staff is good and so is the food but i felt it was lacking a bit at least in regards to the pizza. The pizza of the week (some pineapple pizza) lacked impact and had a muddled taste and an entirely to tough crust. It was still edible but compared to something like dominos its clearly inferior. The pepperoni pizza (cal-something was significantly better but suffered the same issue with the crust. But had a flavorful profile outside of that. The mozzarella sticks were a quite good,the only complaint I have is the shape (it was shaped more like a leaf then a stick), but that's more of a personal thing then an issue with the appetizer. All in all its a nice place with well priced Italian food. But if you want good pizza in the area its not as good as a good dominos around here.

    I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s still one of my favorite low-key Italian spots. The pizza is always crisp and cheesy, and the garlic bread is addictive. The vibe is relaxed — great for family dinners or casual dates. The staff is friendly and efficient. Old-school comfort with consistent quality.
