When this restaurant opened long ago, it almost single-handedly saved the Palisades from the fate offered by other nearby places, namely, that of endless polite variations on Italian cuisine a la Chef Boyardee.
The quality of the ingredients & preparation really stands out in a lot of the dishes, especially the pizza. The pepperoni, onion & sausage toppings are the best in town; you'll notice it instantly once you see it and taste it. None of that cheap stuff that all the others seem to use. Save room for real desserts too.
Cozy and comfortable, with modest decor, it is a great kid-friendly place to have in the neighborhood. Not that expensive given the locale and food quality. And the garlic rolls! Great take-out on game day (night) as well! All are pleased when the pizza hits the dinner table.
