Many years ago Tony owned and ran the place. I take it from the reviews that he is long gone.
The five stars was simply the way it used to be

Food delicious. I had the double cut pork chop and my friend had the pistachio salmon. Both were awesome. Our waitress Aliza was awesome! She should always be requested.

Fun place to have lunch or dinner when in the neighborhood. Good cocktails and salads. Nice live music on the weekends.

I went to the upstairs E Epot Lounge for dinner and live jazz. I had the lobster ravioli. Although it was a bit overpriced for the small portion, it was the best ravioli i've ever had! My friend's pasta wasn't as delicous as mine, but still a good choice for the price. The live jazz was fantastic and the wine list was pretty extensive. I'd probably visit again for a special occasion.

This restaurant has always radiated class. cannot be equalled in any other place. The assortment of salads and main courses are wonderful.

Traditional and delicious Italian dishes to eat in or take out. I'm a fan!

I very much enjoy going here for some good old school Italian cooking. The service is usually very good and the food is excellent home-style Italian. I wouldn't recommend it for a date night as it can be somewhat loud. However, it is a nice place to dine with friends and family.

Every thing was amazing! Starting of with the phenomenal wine list. Then, when the food comes out it's exactly how you ordered it. No mistakes. This is an amazing restaurant. You have to try it.
