After three days of theme park food, this was exactly what we needed. Real food, real atmosphere, and free parking right outside. The caprese was the freshest I have ever had.

This place has been here since 1991 and you can tell why. Not a tourist trap, not a chain. Real Italian food made by a family that cares. The braised short rib was fall-off-the-bone perfect.
