“ First time there but what we had was excellent. Spaghetti and Italian sausage, and lots of sauce cooked to perfection. My wife's Chicken Parmesan was just as good. We didn't leave room for the garlic cheese pizza that came with each meal, but we made just enough space for coconut bread pudding. That was a warm, square of goodness in a not overly sweet rum sauce covered in almond and coconut shavings. Very very good. Definitely going to return to this place. ”
