The food in this restaurant is delicious, they have an old school bar and even a phone booth. This place is a throwback to the old days with food 2nd to none

I am very impressed by The Old Canteen Italian Restaurant Restaurant. No, I have never eaten there I live in Northern California. Yes, I truly miss traditional Italian Restaurants and their multiple menu treats. When I was a very young child I remember an Italian Restaurant where all of the where male waiters/opera singers would sing Italian Operas in Italian. I wish you and your family and staff success. I am at a point in my life where I am missing Traditional Italian Restaurants. Regards

Me n my best friend Marc went there after he got his jaw unwired after a accident we got in on 146 twin river exit barrier we hit I don't remember much just waking up pulling my friend face off the window his chest was on the steering wheel it was crazy so we went here one night in 2001 they sat us at the table right at the top of the small stairs entrance n a family of 15 or more came in n filled the area next to us staring at us it was so awkward but the chicken parm was delicious it was a great meal they definitely thought we was together not the case 😂😂😂

That is a different restaurant. They are, however, next to each other!
