The Galati family has been in the restaurant business for three generations. The menu features authentic Italian cuisine featuring homemade sauces used in the lasagna and spaghetti, along with pizza dough and alfredo sauces, all made from recipes that have been in the family for years....as quoted from their website.
Our groups visit in early January 2010 found the food enjoyable and without cause to doubt the authenticity of thier posting. Subject to quite a rush on weekends (we were there on a Saturday night), it can be quite crowed with little room between the tables but my guess is the people who come are largely "in the know" and find the food worth enduring somewhat cramped conditions. The variety of pasta dishes were ordered and the table was satisfied, a little heavy on the red pepper on the nights pasta special, but overall very satisfied.
Although a family run business, it requires outside staff as well. Therein lies the most noticable room for improvement, the staff while friendly and prompt failed to offer a dessert offering, coffee or after dinner apertiff leaving the associated profits in our pockets. And I hear the tiramisu is fantastic!
For those living in the jackson County area, they'd be hard pressed to find a better choice to satisfy a craving for a pasta dinner.
