Hands down the best authentic Italian D.O.C. pizza south of Jersey and one of the only restaurants to serve "suppli" -- a fried-cheesy-ricey delight tasting like its directly from the "Old Country."

Order the "suppli a telefono" (deep-fried rice balls), which are delicious and as good as the real deal
Amazing authentic Italian, with a good mix of large and small portions, great beer and wine, good appetizers, great bread served with seasoned oil, and homemade pasta. Also accommodating for kids!
Bruschetta, bread, house wine and ravioli are all winners
