8 months agoI must say to see the owner spend most of his time in the kitchen to cook & to supervise the kitchen is impressive, to be sure your food is cooked to perfection is a rear thing to see in other restaurants. Love the clams in the picture. I ask for the largest cherrystones that they have. A lot of great dishes on the menu and on the specials board. Portions are family style and large. Enjoy!

2 months agoCelebrated a special occasion with a group of 12, seated in the back behind the bar. Restaurant was crowded with a large group in the party room, but they had plenty of help available and that's the first thing you notice: the service, it is excellent, friendly and always available. We shared and enjoyed a combination of dishes, appetizers, salad and entrees with pasta. Everything was prepared well, although, as an italian, I do prefer my wife's sauce. They made a black first cake for the occasion that was absolutely delicious, everybody commented how good it was. Overall, as a group, or read a very enjoyable evening that the staff made special. I look forward to visiting them again south my wife.

a year agoMy favorite Italian restaurant on the Island. The staff is super friendly and accommodating and the food is to die for! Frank, the owner and chef, is an absolute culinary magician. You must try the La Vallini sauce, which comes with the fried Calamari. I would strongly recommend that you also try the chicken wings (dry seasoned to perfection), the seafood salad, the seafood croquettas, the Veal Scaparellla, and Veal Milanesa. The Chicken Parmigiana and Chicken Marsala are also very solid.

We Will be back to try some more dishes! The chicken parm was generously portioned and very tender..good dish, we added and extra cutlet but we’re too full to eat it all. The vodka sauce is simply amazing! It’s done right, Al Dente too..Try it with penne you will not be disappointed. A++++++++
