Italian restaurant
This little gem is tucked away in a small plaza located on Shea right off of the 51.It looks nondescript from the outside, but as soon as you walk in, it’s a beautiful, clean, white tablecloth, high-end restaurant.We did not have a reservation, which I highly recommend due to their limited seating, but they sat us with a smile anyways and we got lucky arriving so late at night that we did not have to wait for a table.They were so busy, which is always a great sign of an excellent restaurant.You can tell the staff take pride in their work.Our server’s face lit up when he described the specials and engaged with all our questions.The appetizer we ordered was our first time trying escargot, and I was thrilled with their preparation.The fresh pasta with the entry was a delight and our desert was the perfect ending to the night.

Thank you so much
This is my favorite Italian restaurant. Michelina is from Italy and prepares the food. I have been frequented this restaurant since 1990 and everyone who is of Italian ancestry that I have recommended this restaurant to has loved the food. One person said the Lasagna was the second best he has ever had (His mother’s was the best). I personally like the seafood. All meals come with a dinner salad and complementary after dinner liquor drink.

Thank you Steve so much
Wow! Lovely place deceivingly inside a strip mall.So beautiful inside.We were greeted by a welcoming, congenial and funny hostess who turned out to be Michelina.She let us choose a table and is very e lngaging and charming.The waiter was the obviously either family or long time staff in that his demeanor was completely invested in the restaurant.His recommendations were amazing.Detailed, thoughtful and informative.What a truly wonderful experience.I wish I lived here year round so I could enjoy this gem more often.
