This is a long established restaurant very popular with locals. We have been there a few times with very varied outcomes. On this visit the food was very pedestrian tasting. Nothing special about flavor or presentation. Service is very good. Whole place could use a good update, very 50's vibe and look. Prices are fair. Bar area is very much for locals who all seem to know each other.
I went here with my coworkers. Everyone had something different. I had chicken parm and the portions were huge and the sauce tasted homemade and traditional. It was a little abnormally loud on the other side near the bar, which didn't bother me, but it might not be for everyone if you're looking for a quiet meal. I'm not sure if it's normally like that if it was just that crowd. But definitely try it out.
Managed to make it out to BIR for a late lunch over the weekend after driving by this spot numerous times and always seeing the lot slammed....my tastey senses were tingling!
Ordered pretty quickly as our waiter was fairly attentive checking in on us throughout our meal. We put in for an app and our mains and chatted it up. I will say their soda machine is solid as they pump out sweeter than most drinks that dnt taste like dirty hoses.
The bruschetta was legit w/the bread they use and the flavors were on spot.
I ordered the chicken barsini which was very nice. You could taste the wine in the sauce and the balance was solid all around. Also tried my father's pasta dish which was also very good.
The style of food is old world italian. Straightforward no frills no nonsense w/large portions you could live off of for a few days. You can see why they have been around as long as they have. If it was just for a few small deets this would be a 5 star review.
Worth a stop in for sure 👍
Can get over how great of an experience we had. Gabriella our server was awesome. The food came out quick and so good. First time here and will definitely be back. Loved the French onion soup and the dessert!!
Had a decent meal here tonight. I will say it was odd to get a cardboard to go box for messy soupy pasta. They did say it was was and had nothing else to take leftover in im just not understand how it woulda worked if I had had soup? Either way decent place alcohol is not overpriced like everywhere else these days.
