Im not an Italian expert, but that was a fantastic meal. The focaccia bread, beef barley soup, and clam/shrimp spicy marinara hit the spot so well Service was awesome, brought extra bread upon request.

This is a great place to eat that is not overly priced, with a down home and friendly atmosphere. It is family owned and operated for over 50 years. Not to mention their sunday sauce is made from scratch.. if you like good italian food, this is the place for you!!

Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of my food! I wasn't thinking about it because it was too good! I got the calamari, side of 2 (giant homemade meatballs) then a pasta carbonara with a dinner salad and homemade Italian dressing. This place had an amazing menu off the jump. They had saltimbocca, they had veal, they have pizza pasta and really a LOT of seafood choices which I loved! They also had arancini and a few other staples that no one seems to have. Jackie was my server and she was simply outstanding! She's 50% of the reason I wanna go back! I'm a truck driver and it's really hard to get home cooked meals on the road and everything I ordered was SO GOOD. I took my side of meatballs and pasta to go. When I ate my carbonara today oh my LORDDD it was so good! Something about the fettuccini noodles was next level. They were cooked perfectly but they weren't starchy or swollen/fat. They were very yellow and slippery and very flat thin. Al dente! I was in carb heaven. HUGE portions too!! Stupendous and I'm sad I prb won't be back there bc I'm never ever on 380 but if you're a truck driver and you're wondering about stopping at the ONVO you should not hesitate and make sure you leave a good tip! Thanks again Jackie <3

Every single time we dine here, whether it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner, it is thoroughly enjoyable. Easily. The best Italian food in the area, maybe the state. The Sunday breakfast buffet is amazing and well worth the visit. My favorite is the traditional chicken parmesan!
