From the moment we walked in, our experience was perfect. The ambience, service, and of course the food made our evening. The squid egg appetizers & squid ink risotto were divine. The desserts- creme brulee, cannoli, and pannacotta, icins on a cake. Thank you for a great experience. We will be back.

An old favorite rediscovered. It's been a while, but we will be returning more frequently after this visit. The food is excellent and prepared with care and great flavors. It was also nice to converse in Italian with Filippo. Made the evening a little special.

The pasta dishes are good but the cod was very bland with little taste. The prices based on the portion size are very high. Overall it’s just average IMO.
