  Im gonna be honest, I didnt really care for the front of house Employees. As a whole they all just huddled together kee-hee-hee-ing and laughing like a high school click, talking amongst themselves without any care whatsoever to create a welcoming atmosphere for the customers who came in. I found it very awkward, as the place was very compact, claustrophobic and small. And as many as they were, not one said "hello" to me. In particularly a girl named "Jackie" who I suppose is the "hostess" within the group. No greeting, but she just stared at me so ODDLY and was very CURT. She did NOT exhibit a hospitable energy. In fact She was very cold and calculating. She made me feel very uncomfortable and unwelcomed. Pretty girl but her vibes threw me off. If you look carefully at my Pic, she was rt there just staring at me. But Five stars ****** for The ONLY SAVING Grace for me at this Place which was "Anne" the manager and owner I believe she was. Anne was so kind and understanding to me. And the food! Omg the food, GASP! Was phenomenal. And TRUST when I say Ive been to some of the best RESTOS that served Chicken Parm. And Anne's Parm was exceptionally delicious. And surpassed the competition superbly. It was out of this world FOOD that signaled QUALITY. A total chef's kiss. But as I told Anne, food is connected to energy and Jackie wasnt very kind to me. Didnt even check on me or nothing to ask how the food was, and if I needed anything else. I soon lost my apetite and I opted to take my food to go. I signaled for her, She came if only to utter a rude and abrupt "are you gonna pay cash or credit?" to which she gruffly left a portable CC machine that was not working bty and ignored me the rest of the time. She was so mean spirited lol like what is her deal? And lemme tell You bty as soon as I got home, I WOLFED DOWN my left overs. Proof of how good the food really was when eaten in comfort. But alas the service was less than desirable. At least for me. And IF theyre choosing who theyre gonna be nice to and not nice to then this wait staff are in the wrong field. As you are supposed to be welcoming and WARM to everybody that walks in that place. I came in with such GRACE and ELEGANCE and beauty lol hoping and excited to experience the warm and friendly, FAMILIAL, "Italian" hospitality I was looking for, where Service is attentive yet leisurely, encouraging an atmosphere of JOY and happiness, by making Guests feel like theyre part of La Famiglia, friendly conversations and connections by feeling WELCOMED. Alas I did not receive that. I dont get it. Are you trying to ATTRACT customers or REPEL them? Remember: PEOPLE come for the Food, but We come back for the Service.

  We ordered from Tardino Bros with some very specific dietary needs, and they handled it with so much care! One of our guests had celiac disease and a soy allergy. No gluten. No soy of any kind. No onions or garlic. Everything had to be cooked in olive oil, avocado oil, or butter. Another guest had tree nut and coconut allergies. That’s a lot to manage. And they didn’t just accommodate it. They paid attention. The food was clearly prepared with intention. Everything arrived on time, fresh, and exactly as requested. You can tell when a place just fills an order. And you can tell when a place actually cares, especially when I called and confirmed. They were so understanding and courteous.

  Went in for lunch, we tried the Death Star pizza, vegetable minestrone, Lasagna, and the Pasta Marinara with meatballs. All can say is wow. Portion size is great, the flavors were absolutely delicious, everything was fresh including the soup ! The vegetables were all al dente and was very hearty. Can’t wait to coming back. Guys behind the counter were awesome as well!

  The food was very tasty. I went in for a pizza but I ended up eating Jojo’s pasta. Very flavorful. Staff was great. I will definitely be back.
