I'd have to say that this is the best place to eat in Laurel. From the outside, it doesn't look like much at all. It sits in a tiny strip mall, that looks a little bare, at the crossroads of Rt 1 North and South and 198 East and West. But, appearances are most certainly deceiving.
Authentic Italian cusine. This place pulls off a nice finer dining atmosphere, very elegant and I often feel bad for showing up in jeans. Everything is worth trying and plan on having wine with dinner as well. The desserts are nice, go for the specials or the cannoli, and pass on the cheesecake. Perfect for the special evening out. I'd dine there only on those nicer occasions if there were other decent restaurants nearby. Unfortunately, Laurel seems to be lacking good taste in food.
Again, an excellent place to eat.
