The waitress and chef kept triyng to convince me that swordfish IS supposed to taste fishy! Disappointing. Would not go back.

Wonderful Place

The food is amazing! Best Italian food since I've been to Italy. The pasta was fresh, the service was great and the atmosphere was nice. It brought back great memories of my trip to Italy. There are a lot of great Italian places in the Philly/SJ area and this one I highly recommend.

• Pros: Authentic Italian food, Friendly service

Pasta, pasta, pasta!

I go almost every sunday with my parents and brother for a nice italian sunday dinner to catch up on things. The restaurant is rather small, but it sends good vibes, and the staff makes you fell comfortable right away. The penne marinara is the best I have tasted in a long time, other than in Italy when I was growing up. If you feel like something light and refreshing, I would suggest the following course; house salad, penne marinara, and chocolate mousse in a pyramid shape, and to top it off a peach iced tea. That meal will leave you with no empty stomach, and a good feeling when you depart from this wonderful restaurant.

• Pros: service, not over-crowded, environment
• Cons: may get spoiled

No spaghetti and meatballs thank god

We ordered the Cotoletta di Calamari and The fig and fennel salad. It was totally different and scrumptious, breaded and pan seared it had a meaty texture and true flavor of the sea. The salad had true sicilian influences with figs and orange segments, fennel and gorgonzola cheese, very well balanced flavors we'd order both appetizers again.

We didn't want to eat pasta but at the moment of ordering the owner came out to greet us and suggested we split a portion of his hometown pasta appropriately called Tagliatelle alla Siciliana, we conceded and were delighted that we had, homemade ribbons of pasta enveloped in a sauce so bursting with flavors we had never experienced before in Italian restaurant in America, swordfish and cherry tomatoes, red peppers and mint!

Our main course we opted for the whole fish, Orata, Franco filleted the fish for us table side it was fantastic.

• Pros: easy parking, impeccable service, owner operated
