Meagan was wonderful! Her along with the great food and terrific prices is a great reason to return. P.S. if you like traditional gnocchi's that, remind you of your Italian mom, you must try the potato Gnocchi they are fabulous..

Great atmosphere. Great food, and the staff is amazing. I'm Italian and I am picky about restaurant Italian food. I recommend the fettuccini pizza with chicken or the stuffed shells.

La Pizza molto buona y la Stracciatella fantastica. El servicio excelente y rapido. Recomendado 100%

A favorite. Pastas and pizzas are delicious, but nothing beats the antipasto salad. The homemade chicken pebble soup is also delicious, and the rolls are to die for. Service is quick and attentive, though the bar side can get loud sometimes.

Enjoyed our dinners here. They have a selection of fall cocktails. No local craft beers. Pasta was delicious. Highly recommended mushroom ravioli.

Been a couple decades since last visit, that has now changed, going back really soon. Marvelous unique Asiago Cheese Infused Gnocchi slathered with Garlic n Oil OMG what a instant addiction. Started with a delicious Appetizer Platter perfect for sharing only 7 bucks for the Win. A Bowl of Chicken Pebbles Soup another winner we shared. Had the medium House Special Pizza Pie spot on Wonderful . Fantastic service provided by waitress a former Charlie's employee who knew us. Really excited to try many more of the pasta dishes. Follow them on Instagram and Facebook for specials.
