    Y Not Italian has become our new favorite place to eat. The ambience is amazing, food is beyond delicious, the prices are decent and we can have a conversation without yelling to hear each other. Dave and Joe are absolute gems and are always very accommodating. 5 ⭐️ all the way!

    This was our first dinner at Y Not Italian. It was terrific — great food, friendly attentive service, good value. The Cesear salad, sardines, pasta and fish were excellent.
