★★★★★ 5.0 Rachel Lubin · Jan 2026

Perfect experience in every way. We were seated immediately, and the waiter was extremely friendly and attentive. The pizza and chicken sandwich were both excellent, and the side salad was very fresh and tasty.

Good brick oven bread, Spaghetti with Crab was very good, Garlic Shrimp appetizer very good, Caesar salad was meh, Spaghetti Carbonara was very disappointing. Good cappuccino. Good breakfast potatoes. Service was decent. If I'm in the neighborhood again I may give them another shot. Not overpriced. Potential for a very good meal is there but it wasn't a home run.

Went for brunch and lunch so far and it’s absolutely incredible. Their eggs purgatory is probably the best breakfast dish I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

Just left. My server was John. He was such a good, attentive server that we left him the biggest tip I’ve ever left a person. We came to this restaurant for my best friend’s birthday, 30 mins before closing, and they still welcomed us with open arms (we called first). The greeting was warm and welcoming, the food was hot and fresh. They make everything in house. We ordered some dishes that weren’t on the menu but my favorites was the Cesar salad, the meatball, the bread, and the duck bolognese. I’m so impressed with the food and service. It was 3 of us and our bill came out to be $167. Not bad at all. We ordered a lot of food. So I highly recommend. I travel all over the world for a living and this food is better than a lot of spots I tried in Italy. Will be back.

Great food! Great place! Great service! Great atmosphere! Also BYOB! Located in the downtown area of Maplewood. The calamari wasn’t your normal fried calamari it was different but very flavorful! Def would recommend. The bread and butter F R E S H! We also had the steak and mash AMAZING and JUICY! I had the seafood pasta and the shrimp was XL and they used REAL CRAB MEAT! We will definitely be coming back to this place it makes it a great date night! The service was outstanding! My water cup was always being refilled! MUST ORDER THE MEATBALLS!
