Seafood risotto. Yummy and great selection of pastas and specials. Calamari is a must and close out with Nonna cake.

Our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood! The food is fantastic (especially their amazing “pink sauce”) and the atmosphere is wonderful. The patio is cute and cozy, with great lighting and heat lamps for the colder months. 10/10 would recommend!

Been meaning to try this place for a while. When we did we were pleasantly surprised. Crevice was great and the food was very good. I had the grilled salmon and broccoli. I don’t usually say broccoli is yummy. But theirs really was. My husband had the Chicken parmigiana and sautéed kale. Very flavorful and well prepared. We will definitely go back. Highly recommend.

My friend and I shared three different items, the arugula salad, a pizza with a gluten-free crust, and the pasta puttanesca with gluten-free pasta. All three courses were delicious, the portions were generous, the service was excellent, and it had a pleasant atmosphere. We will definitely be back. We’re particularly impressed with the tastiness of the pasta and pizza crust in light of the fact that they were gluten free

Food was good. That sauce on the chicken marsala was so yummy. The potatoes were just meh, but I used them to get all the sauce up 🙂 The cannoli was fantastic. Rich ingredients and the tiny hint of lemon which tells me it was fresh and homemade. One star down because the olive oil our patio table was infiltrated, as nature does sometimes on patios (gnats). But no one noticed until I picked it up to use it. Ew. (They replaced it when I flagged someone down). But beside that, service was very good and the food was tasty.

We’ve been here before, but tonight was an entirely different experience! The food was so delicious. We split an arugula salad and we both had the Penne Firenze. Very good. For desert I had the Nonna cake, which I loved. She had the Blueberry Orange Tart. Amazing. We even had an authentic Italian server. She was so pleasant and helpful. Overall, a great dinner, hanging out on the outdoor patio. We will be back again soon.

Super hospitable host turned on the outdoor seating heater for us on a cold day. Loved my sandwich. Very quick service and good menu

We went tonight at about 730 – miserable rain. Greeted and seated promptly, a good sign nowadays. Our server, Chase, was amazing. he had some advice about sharing salads and entrees and what to do with the elementary school kid we had with us. He checked on us just often enough that we would say attentive and too little or much. He was so nice and so friendly that he made the experience for me. The food was good – i thought the cheese pizza was nothing to write home about but the bolognese and salad were wonderful. We figured on leftovers. it was so good there was only a bit of pizza to take home. My only complaint – the tax – on food out here! but that has nothing to do with the restaurant and our good experience!

I have been stopping in at this little cafe once a week when I’m in the area for several years now. The morning staff that used to work here over a year ago was not very nice, but the people that work here now are extremely warm and friendly. The cookies are delicious, the food is pretty good but not the best. I do not think that their coffee is strong enough. All in all it’s a pretty good place and I will keep coming back here mostly because of the location and the people.
