Why 5 stars?
Service: Since the moment we walked in we felt very welcomed by their hosts (Which I assume are the owners of the business); We waited at the bar for 30 minutes and enjoyed an excellent Chocolate Godiva Martini and my favorite, a glass of "Montepulciano D' Abruzzo".
Walter and Alessandro Scorted us to our table and were constantly asking if everything was "OK" - Everything was Perfect!
Ambiance: It automatically transported me to Manhattan- old fashioned restaurant with great lighting and music... This is definitely a place were you would expect great service and food just by looking at the crowd.
Food: We had fried calamari and I asked for Gnocchi alla Conti's- I really enjoyed their Italian sauce and the gnocchi were just delightful- Best I've had so far.
Price: Perfect for what you get.
Cons: None... Will definitely go back.

Cozy atmosphere with classic Italian food, on the pricier side.
The calamari was very good, probably the softest I've ever had, and its nice to not have to chew in overdrive. I ordered the cheese ravioli in tomato sauce for my entree. The ravioli are small but you get a nice sized portion, and it was fresh and flavorful.
Get dessert! Their napoleons are unique. My favorite was the mele cotte al vino bianco, which is warm apples cooked with white wine, sprinkled with brown sugar, and topped with vanilla ice cream. Its simple but severely delicious.

This is a friendly neighborhood restaurant that could easily be in Manhattan. We go there for the food, always fresh, a great variety of specials and the staff is on top of their game. Walter and his family are excellent hosts. I love the fish, which you get to see (they bring the whole fish out for you to inspect) before they filet it, and it is always cooked just right. There is a decent wine list, and although it's a bit pricey, it is worth it for a fine dining experience.

This is a great italian place on the long street that is northern boulevard. My family and I have been going here for years and take out from here regularly. It has great Italian food and is owned by a family of three that treats you like you are a part of that family. The shrimp parmigiana here is amazing, as is the mozzarella caprese. They also serve bread with diced tomatoes and red peppers for free to start the meal along with the usual bread, which is also delicious. The crab meat cocktail is usually great while all the salads are winners. You can't go wrong with any of the pasta dishes, especially the penne putanesca and spaggheti di fare. The fish dishes are good, but nothing special while the chicken parm and pollo alla conti are great. For dessert, the ice cream is really good while the chocolate mousse cake is also quite tasty. The biscotti cookies have to be some of the best that I've tasted though.
