Sheila Sanchez of patch.com wrote: The mom-and-pop Italian restaurant, located at 51 No. Santa Cruz Ave., is owned by Peter Jillo. It now has nearly 1,100 square-feet of extra space with 45 tables, a raised ceiling and a new food service counter where patrons can eat and drink cocktails.
One Yelp reviewer wrote “This place Rocks! The restaurant had a complete makeover and expansion just recently. They installed a beautifuyl new Bar, with a Granite counter, right behind which they put in an ice counter about 12 inches wide where you can put your drinks to keep them cool. It’s a nice touch.”
