Loved the food we had. Focaccia appetizer was yummy and flavorful. The gnocchi was rich and tasty and so was the cannelloni. We'd definitely return if we come to this area again.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here and I was pleasantly surprised they now have house-made pasta, prepared perfectly Al dente too. Squid ink pasta and short rib pasta are the go-to’s. Prior experience with their bolognese made me not want to come back because it’s really hard to mess up bolognese. I think you just have to know what to order. Italian chopped salad also another great one to try.

First of all the service is really warm and good. It is a cozy place but the food is outstanding. Wonderful neighborhood place. Try the eggplant Parmesan and the affogato, off the charts delicious.
