    Bring your appetite or like leftovers. We parked in the front and was given a window seat. I had the chicken parmesan that was served with bread. Good beer list with a dark beer on tap. There was plenty of leftovers for a full meal the next day for me.

    The BEST Broccoli Rabe! Compliments to the chef who takes such pride by hand selecting fresh ingredients daily! Superb fresh warm bread made in house, too. Luckily, friends introduced us to this hidden gem while visiting the area. Just passing thru but we loved it so much we ate there 4 out of the 5 days we were there plus got a large pie to freeze!

    Friends took us here because they said they have never had a bad meal and it's one of there favorites. I became a fan right away, since eaten there 4 times and loving the food every time especially the broccoli rabe and sausage pizza. The head chef takes amazing pride in his work and came out to great us to make sure everything was good. I highly recommend this restaurant and it's food. Updated 9-14-2023 just can't get enough of this place, another great meal and another 5 stars thanks Tazzo !!
