Wow wow wow! I don't normally go out of my way to leave a review but I had to. My family was there for my sister's birthday the other night. I couldn't believe how good the food was!! The staff was beyond friendly and made my Sister's birthday a great time! Everyone in our group enjoyed their food immensely!! Thanks again. This little hidden ? I was so happy my family found it.

Went for my wives birthday dinner with a party of 11. From the moment we walked in to when we left, everything was perfect. Food, service and atmosphere was the best. Can’t wait to go back.

Victoria T left a savage review that attempted to slander this restaurant. The management responded in such a professional and rational way, yet still clapped this lady's ignorant cheeks it's amazing. I knew I could trust this staff and the authenticity of its Italian cuisine.

I stumbled on this Bradley Beach gem on Instagram. When I scrolled through the pictures on their page I knew I had to try it and boy am I glad I did. In the few weeks since my discovery, I've gone several times with my wife and with friends and no one has had a bad meal. In fact, each experience has been wonderful. The food is fantastic. My favorite dish is a simple one: chicken parmigiana. The matriarch running this wonderful establishment, Mom a/k/a Lana, has been serving up delicious Italian cuisine for years, and it shows. On a recent visit, she took the time to explain her "secret" in prepping the chicken. Yummmm! Try the artichokes francais and the meatballs. Fantastic! On my most recent visit, I was awarded with a slice of heaven, daughter Sunny's upside down grapefruit blood orange cake. Scrumptious!!! Don't believe me? Go try for yourself. And.....the new fall menu, which Lana shared for me, goes into effect October 5th. Sorry I can't talk about it - Lana swore me to secrecy. And....the service is incredible too! Hats off to Lana and company. ?

So I kind of stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant with some friends and I’m glad we did. We had a 6pm reservation and we’re greeting by the owner’s daughter - what a refreshing treat to have such a personable person wait on our table. We ordered the broccoli rabe sausage and artichoke francese as appetizers, both were excellent. I had the ribeye steak and it was amazing, cooked perfectly as ordered. I also got to try the bolognese, which was also excellent. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is nice - they play great background music and the dining room is quaint and comfortable. Beyond the great experience of food and atmosphere, we had the privilege of great service by our server and her mom, the owner. If you want to go back to the days of good old fashioned quality dining, this is the joint. We will be back.

Delicious homestyle food and the best, most comfortable service. We travelled to Sicily and Rome in June, and this is the US restaurant that most captures the flavorful food and affectionate atmosphere we found there. Couldn't be better!

Just super. We went to Sicily in June, and this cozy place is the closest thing to Sicily that we've found. Try the artichoke francaise and the Grandma Nora pasta -- full of subtle but powerful flavors. Lovely attentive service and real-people prices for this pricey area. We will be back!

An excellent dining experience overall. The food was just perfect- felt like a good home cooked meal- no frills, decent and delicious. Its a family owned business and the owners (a mother- daughter duo) were so inviting and kind. The tiramisu is a must have! We are definitely going back!Vegetarian options: Grandma Nora’s Pasta is vegetarian and simply delicious.
