This place has been a staple for great Italian food for decades. I usually choose the gnocchi with red sauce but I have tried to other items on the menu. Dinner includes a nice salad and some of the best bread I've seen

Nice people - great service. I love when the servers let you know what's made fresh. We really wanted to try the steak and gnocchi but we knew that was too much for a late dinner. I ordered a lovely sangria made in-house, and the rigatoni with meatballs. It was a great value for $10 and came with a salad and plenty of bread. For a $1 upcharge you can get house-made blue cheese dressing. It was good. And I love getting a beet slice and onions on my salad. My sister got the lasagna and enjoyed it as well. I wish I had read the reviews earlier to know to order extra meat sauce and cheese. But still a good value. I definitely will go back. The business is almost 100 years old so it's definitely got an old school vibe, but the dining room gives you plenty of elbow room.

Old school classic Italian dining. Best creamy Italian around. Have dined here for over three decades and have never been disappointed. One of the best restaurants in Alliance.

Really nice, off the beaten path, Sarah our waitress was really pleasant young lady, kept the coffee cup full and brought extra meat sauce without asking.. Spaghetti and Rigatoni with meatballs were great!
