★★★★★ 5.0 William Thomas · Aug 2025

This little Italian eatery impressed me with its courteous and professional service, varied menu and exquisite cuisine. I had the rigatoni with spicy sausage that was piping hot in a marinara sauce with roasted red peppers and it was perfect. The bread was fresh and soft with olive oil and garlic. The atmosphere was great with a view of the street allowing for people watching and the server, Ariel, took great care of me and boxed up my leftovers for me. I would absolutely go back the next time I’m in town.

Food was very good, had the tortellini and after that a Pana Cotta. But: NO coffee, espresso or cappuccino in an italian restaurant? That's a No go.

Food was great. Ordered the Caesar salad to start, the short rib ravioli, and a fettuccine bolognese with a couple modifications. The Caesar was good, nice portion. Both dishes were delicious at time of service and as leftovers the next day. Service was ok. Everyone was very friendly but inattentive at times, especially as the dinner rush slowed. Not sure what the dessert options are as we were never offered. Would still recommend giving this place a try.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 lainey cassidy · Jun 2025

Good service, but pretty underwhelmed by the food. Solid portion sizes for the value and very filling, with a quite good caesar salad. The arancini was not bad. The fettuccine bolognese however was quite flavorless. Didn't care to finish it. I enjoyed the well cut noodles more than the taste of the dish. Bread is bland, spongy, and cold, with plain oil added. Complementary, though. The carbonara's noodles were bordering on al dente. Not quite there. They could've used more time. The meat however was quite nice. Place was a bit packed and loud, though the servers were kind and attentive. The food is not enough to go back for, but it is an altogether "alright" experience.

★★★★★ 5.0 Nathanael Rojas · Feb 2023

Absolutely and utterly delicious! Breathtakingly good. Never have I eaten at an Italian restaurant that had me gasp at every bite. It was clear and obvious the quality of the food and the fact that it was homemade. we ordered: See the video for yourself, the meat is actually falling off the bone. so tender, so juicy and riddled with flavor. A battle I had was continuing to eat more while realizing I was getting too full! Great portion sizes! I'm counting the days until we return. The hardest decision will be to order what we got last time or try something new! I can only believe it will all be delicious. Each dish had an incredible presentation. I just cannot get enough of the taste. Absolutely homemade. Tasted fresh! You can visibly see how hard each member works and how happy they are
