Customer Reviews
Hands down the best Italian spot in town. The food was incredible and the service was lightning fast. The whole place has a great, authentic Italian feel. But the best part? The owner overheard us mentioning it was my wife's birthday and brought out this beautiful, fancy dessert for her. It made her night! If you're looking for great food and a place that treats you right, go here. Highly recommend!
We’ve been here 3 times now. It’s small, family run, clean, cozy, not too loud, and due to mandatory reservations it’s never too crowded. Seated near the door it was a little chilly. Food is good, not showstopper, but when they get it right it’s tasty. This time my dining partner’s eggplant dish came out not hot, the Caesar salad oddly has grocery store shredded mozzarella and parmigiana that is not reggiano. Service is friendly but sporadic. The wine glasses were topped off, but dishes were so slow to be cleared we ended up piling them up. The octopus special seemed a little under, no char, underseasoned, and slightly chewy with just a basalmic glaze. The complimentary bruschetta was very good, nice wines by the glass and bottles are reasonably priced. My pork special p
The food is amazingly good! The pastas are cooked as they should be - the texture is exactly what we had in Italy. Everything from appetizer to desert. The wine recommendation is excellent. We will definitely come back.
Bruschetta is fabulous and complimentary. We ordered the burratta with strawberries, pomegranate, and almonds on top of arugula and balsamic glaze. Fabulous. Also gnocchi, carbonara, parpadelle with sausage, pizza Regina, pizza al pesto, and pasta pescatore (the pasta was kinda "meh" but seafood was super fresh and flavorful). The personal pizzas are huge and absolutely delicious. I would go back for the pizzas.
Made a reservation for lunch, we had to wait to be seated which wasn't initially a big deal but for the price and the quality of the food it didn't help my experience. The complementary bruschetta and the focaccia bread were our favorite parts. My mom's pasta was uber al dente and some of the food wasn't hot. I had high expectations for this place based on reviews and whenever I ordered delivery from there it was just okay and by dining in I was hoping it would be better. Now I would go back because it may have been an off day but we'll see.
