We've been going there regularly for the past twenty years and least several times a year. Sometimes a lot more. It's located nearby on Hertel Avenue and is about a five minute drive from home. We often go there for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries but tonight we went just because we like to go there and have a nice dinner.
We first went there a few times in the 1980's but we were not particularly impressed at the time. We thought they were somewhat overpriced for an ordinary Italian restaurant. There were lots of them in Buffalo at that time. We stopped going there and I do think we went at all during the 90's. Then around 2000 they renovated the restaurant and significantly stepped up their game. The food became outstanding and the decor of the restaurant improved dramatically.
The bar was a lot more comfortable and they had high top tables in the barroom where they served wonderful pizza and small plates. The owner has always been the host which was a nice touch and then over the years his son began to take over the operation.
An outstanding restaurant.
