I had the Italian Beef sandwich but replaced the Sweet Peppers with Hot Peppers. It was delicious! I usually have to go to Portillos when I have an Italian Beef craving, but my friend and I agreed this was way better than Portillos. I'm not sure if they offer the sandwich dipped, though. (The au jus was on the side). Next time I will ask. Also, I had a small and it was still plenty filling for lunch. It doesn't come with a side, but I didn't need it and found the sandwich satisfying on its own.

Lots of staff, good service, bar seating and full bar. Pizza was good, many too crunchy as our preference is a more chewy dough. Pepperoni, sausage and Italian beef made up the meat lovers pizza. Great sausage flavor, crispy pepperoni. We didn't like how you can't add toppings to their signature pizza. We wanted roasted red peppers but they don't do that. You need to order topping individually...what? Zucchini sticks weren't that good as the inside was nuclear hot and slimy textured. I'm sure these were frozen not fresh made. Either way, very good. The Italian beef and meatball sandwiches are killer on the famous Toscano bread.

The food is amazing! The filet steak dinner is awesome! The fried shrimp are the best I have ever had. All of their sandwiches are amazing and plentiful. Their pasta dishes are delicious and you get a salad & garlic bread with them. Pizzas are awesome! If you have room, try one of their Italian desserts too! You can't beat the atmosphere of this local Italian restaurant! It's a must see and eat place to visit! Service is great & the owners are wonderful! I give it 5 stars! Yummy!

Went as a group of 7 on a Tuesday night at 5pm. It was already crowded. We had good food and decent service. Shrimp Scampi was delicious as was the salad with Italian dressing and garlic bread. The Ravioli and Lasagna got rave reviews also. It's not fancy in any way but the food is good so we will put it on our rotation in AJ.

Tried this place for the very first time on recommendation from my friend Christian. I ordered lasagna with sausage after having a major craving for it. It did not disappoint and neither did the service! My waitress was very good and super nice! She even hooked me up ahead of time with a take home container, as the portion was big enough for 2-3 meals. It came with a side salad that was delicious and just the perfect amount. Very tasty! The ambiance was nice and calm...just perfect for meal time. I took my time and enjoyed my meal and the visit in general. I will definitely be back to try other things here.
