A cozy authentic Italian restaurant snuggled in the far corner of a small strip shopping center offers some wonderful Italian meal deals. You can get smaller portion pasta dishes for under $7. But the best days to come are at the beginning of the week. Tuesdays you can get any pasta lover dish listed on the menu for $3.99 if you order a regular pasta dish.

Mondays they offer extra-large take out pizza for $7.99. Also on the cheap are an array of soups and salads priced between $3-$5. The restaurant has a quiet and peaceful aura. It’s beautifully decorated with soft hues, and there's ample space. It’s across from Laurel Regional Hospital. Drive slowly—it’s easy to miss.
