I've dined here a handful of times, and it never disappoints. They're consistent with their food. I love their seafood linguine that's a significant portion. The prices are reasonable and always in large quantities. The service is always good, but if you have somewhere to be, I wouldn't dine in during busy dinner hours. They make their food fresh, so it does take longer than other restaurants. The food always comes out piping hot, though. They have a bar area in the back, and two dining areas. One in the front and one in the middle. The dining areas always get filled up during dinner hours. I would recommend this place if people want to experience delicious Italian dishes.

A solid 5 star restaurant in a small town. Coming from the bustling Bay Area, I knew this would be a whole different vibe which it was. The place was quite full, so I'm glad we made reservations and were seated promptly. Now I'll be honest, the drinks were good, but the wines were lackluster, but that's ok. The food! OMG the food! Started with the garlic bread with cheese and stuffed my face. It was so great, crunchy, garlicky-everything you could imagine. For the main course I had the chicken riggie, as I've heard it's a local specialty. It was AMAZING. I even when to a different place on Monday and theirs was not as great. But this place...I'm drooling. Having Pat there to sing made it even better!

Great food and atmosphere. A little slow service, but good food takes time. The service staff were friendly and accommodating. Don't miss out on the Greens Ruggiero's and the Penne Sinatra.

Great local place, amazing Italian food! Bread is increíble, pasta dishes ans this chicken with Parma ham was to DIE for delicious. Sit in the back at the bar ans you'll meet 1/4 of the town! Will come back anytime I'm in town

Great little hidden gem. We walked in on a Friday night a little before 6 and got to last available table. From our seats, we saw many people turned away because they were booked solid. We had the fish fry which came with a nice, fresh salad and really good fresh bread as well as a side dish (we got Mac and cheese) and a small helping of coleslaw. Everything was fresh and delicious and generously portioned. The servers seemed a bit short handed, but did their best to keep on top of things when things got backed up in the kitchen. Everyone was pleasant and friendly. Food being delivered to other tables looked yummy, too. If you'd go, be sure that make reservations.

What a great Home town family ran Italian restorante! Always a great meal served. Absolutely best eggplant parmigiana, and delicious meataballas!! I love when they give you the fresh bread, definitely prefer that over the rolls but anything to mop up the sauce with works!! The antipasto's are amazing and the home made Italian is perfection. Definitely where your stretchy pants and enjoy!!

Wow! Coming off the trail and a 65 mile bike ride (plus a shower and change) we found this gem. We chose to sit out front. No problem. Our waitress was fantastic. The food was... wonderful. I do not say this lightly. Really, it was that good. Everything from the bread to the lasagna was done to perfection. If you are deciding where to go, stop. Go here.

This is NOT in Herkimer - it's in Little Falls and it. Is. Awesome. Huge portions - ask for a box when you order - you'll need it. My pasta combo special was easily enough for 3 people :) Came with an excellent fresh side salad and the BOMB garlic knots! Affordable, easy to find something to please anyone and absolutely fresh and delicious. The service is a bit slow but what's your hurry in upstate NY?? If I lived here I'd be here once a week and then working out the rest of the days to prep for more :)
