Jack's Ristorante****

From the street, Jack's Ristorante is un-assuming, but inside there is a romantic restaurant serving some well-made Italian standards - request them to your liking. A friendly wait staff is sure to make you feel at home. Take your significant other out and enjoy the dim lighting with dark and rich mediterranean colors scattered through out the dining and bar areas with décor reminiscent of Italy.

Dishes with that home-made taste and feel served hot from the stove. We tried the Four-Chese Lasagna for $7.99 and the homemade Cheese Manicotti for the same price and both delicious with layers of cheese and the sauce on both leaned slightly towards the sweet; something I enjoy.
