   Favorite new restaurant. Jason is the best. Servers Bryce, Joel and Kate have all been excellent. They know their dishes and can make knowledgeable recommendations. The kitchen is reliably superb. Atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming.

   Nice place. First of all the consensus of our party of four was that the food was average. Two of us had the clams and spaghetti not a lot of taste to it. My wife had zucchini noodles with mushroom and tomato sauce. She said it was pretty watery. And another of us had the Bucatini with Bolognese of what she said was average. We did have appetizers and they brought the entrées out with the appetizers. My wife ordered an additional glass of wine, which didn’t come then 10 minutes later she ordered it again. The waiter was honest when he told us that the zucchini fries were soggy so we did not order those. In my opinion, there are many more better Italian restaurants in the area to go to. However, I do recommend you give it a try and see what you think because I never wanna write a negative review that affects the restaurant. This is an honest review that I’ve written.

   Our waitress wasnvery welcoming. We felt rushed and she was abrupt. She made the table feel anxious and acted like she was interested in waiting on us. Got a simple salad order wrong. We won't be returning.

   This place is the Chili’s of “Italian food“ a notch up from Olive Garden. Definitely won’t go back. Very noisy, felt like you were eating in somebody’s garage and the food is mediocre at best. Definitely not authentic Italian.

   The wild mushroom Bianca pizza was very good and the maeatball appetizers. The pesto pasta with Deion’s and chicken Parmesan were very tasty.

   Good food and service , but noise level is impossible. You can not hear other people at the table. NO soundproofing

    Living In suburban NYC most of my life and working in NYC for 40+ years I know good American-version Italian food. This is really really authentic, large portions, with wonderful attentive service. Glad we only live 7 minutes away. We will be back often.
