5 /5 Honest Reviews: Atmosphere- 5 stars- located in downtown Washington PA this Italian style restaurant is below street level. You enter the building by going down a set of steps. Reminds me of the entrance of the famous television show - Cheers. As you enter you see a full bar to your right and to your left a seating area as well as further ahead as you’re waiting to be seated. It is a cozy environment that feels like a local spot and is decorated nicely with old photo memories of the past. Love the rustic brick wall that was in our dining area. I don’t believe there are any windows since you’re in the lower level of the building however it doesn’t feel dark or uninviting. Everything was really clean and there was plenty of seating- both tables and booths or seating at the bar. I also noticed a back room which was probably used for private events or overflow seating.
Service- 5 stars- our waitress was Bridgette and she was on the ball! We had a table that was a little rocky but she noticed it right away and fixed it. She gave us her advice when asked about what was good and she didn’t steer us wrong- I had one of the best sandwiches I had ever had. She was very attentive and made sure our drinks stayed full and that we had everything we needed. Super friendly. I hope this restaurant knows what a good employee they have.
Food- 5 stars- we had been here before however it had been awhile and our last visit was a little disappointing but I accounted that for being rusty after reopening due to the COVID episode. This time was amazing!!! Everything was delicious. Starting with the Wedding soup- perfectly made with tender meatballs and a savory broth. I got the Roberta sandwich- which was made with tender slices of roast beef, cheese, Cole slaw, fresh fries and thousand island dressing all on Italian grilled bread- amazing!!! We also got Cheese Ravioli made with imported pasta and you could definitely tell the difference from the store boxed pasta. Sauce was very good and we got a side of Meatballs- very large Meatballs at that and they were awesome! Just can’t say enough about our experience here.
If you look at my past reviews you will see that five stars reviews come far and few between so when I give a place five stars it must be very good!!
