Update3/15/25:
Went to dinner second time. Reserved a table in advance this time over the phone. Ordered couple of pizzas(Chicken pesto and funghi), wines and a chocolate cake. We were truly excited to try out their pizzas but they were average at the best. Chocolate cake was okay too. I found the service slow and understaffed. Only 1 server handling too many tables at busy time.
Old review: Great food, loud but lively atmosphere.
We went on a Friday evening and found this place very busy. We were told to wait 45-60minutes. Indeed it took more than an hour to get a table. So I recommend to reserve the table first.
Our server was friendly and welcoming. Took a bit of time to get our food after placing an order. Garlic Bread with pesto was decent. Main course was amazing. I loved the flavors of chicken Marsala. Sauce was delicious and the chicken was cooked tender and juicy. Pasta was great as well. We ordered tiramisu to finish with. It was good but not the best.
Overall a great food and good place. Food pricing is a hit on higher side. I would return to try their pizzas.

Great Food in a Lively, Family-Friendly Atmosphere
This busy spot offers a rustic charm with its picnic-style and four-top wooden tables. The service was good, and the manager even stopped by to check on us twice, which was a nice touch. If you’re planning to visit for dinner, I highly recommend making a reservation—at 5:30 on a Friday, the place was already packed.
The food was excellent. The lobster ravioli was rich and decadent, and the lasagna stood out with its unique twist—flavored with sausage and a rich, palomino-style sauce.
It’s clear this is a family-friendly establishment, as the place was filled with families and kids. That said, if you’re looking for an intimate, quiet dinner, this may not be the best fit, as the atmosphere was quite lively and loud. Overall, a great choice for a casual meal with excellent food!

Absolutely amazing food and an amazing service by Andre.
Met up with a group of 8 for a Surprise Bachelorette Party at Pop's For Italian on a Sunday at 4PM. We did have reservations, but the location was not busy at that time, and had no wait.
We were served by Andre, who was an absolute delight. He was fun, knowledgeable, and made the bride feel very special. Andre also helped us make multiple allergy accomodations throughout our meal. Thank you for your help throughout the meal, Andre.
Everyone's food was plated nicely and was pretty to look at. It was also delicious to eat. I had Chicken Toscana, which came with mashed potatoes and green beans. The meal was incredible. The mashed potatoes were freshly mashed, had some of the skin left which gave it a nice texture difference and had a lot of flavor on their own. The green beans were cooked perfectly. The chicken and sun dried tomatoes were also delicious.
Not one person in the group had any complaints about their meal, and we all left very satisfied.
I highly recommend this place for a nice dinner outing. They have a lot of choices and were able to make food accomodations if you have them, as mentioned before. We had a great time here.
