Oh, hell yeah. Can’t say enough good things about our food and experience here. Laid back and casual, where you order at the counter and then wait for the magic to happen at your table. The 4 cheese gnocchi was some of the best gnocchi we have had anywhere and the meatball parmigiana sandwich was just as good. Personable service and owner in a small space with a great neighborhood vibe. Parking on the street nearby.

My girlfriend and I split a meatball appetizer and cheese ravioli, which were wonderful. The buttercake for dessert was divine. I would have preferred water that wasn’t bottled, but overall the meal was one of the best we’ve had.

This place is cute, and at first glance, it doesn’t appear to be anything special. You order your food at the counter and pick a seat. Then the magic begins. The food is presented on real dishes and is beautifully plated. Moreover, and most importantly, it tastes devine. I am still dreaming of the calamari with red pepper sauce. Everything we ordered was beautiful and delicious. The server was super busy but so sweet. Really nice place.

Kinda unassuming place with amazing food, you need to get the chicken scalessa it’s a huge portion, it can serve two people, and the butter cake is absolutely devine. The best indulgent meal.

7/29/2023 UPDATE: This place continues to offer top notch Italian fare. The meatballs are insanely good. The lasagna is chock full of ground beef. The chicken parm is delicious. And the “downtown” chicken cutlet is scrumptious. Adding pics now of the chicken parm and the lasagna.

My wife and I love this place. We went there for vday and it was perfect. The food, the warmth, cozy environment and the hosts were special. Great veal, sauce, parm and old school cutlets. Portions are generous as well! It’s becoming our local favourite.

I was really excited to try this place. First, the lemonade was warm, which was very disappointing on a hot day. Also, the gnocchi verdi was not good. It was extremely bland, the only flavor I could taste in the dish was crab. The eggplant parmesan was not bad, but not great. The marinara sauce was good, but overall the food that we got was just not worth the price. The service was good, but we had to ask for napkins. I unfortunately will not be going back.

The homemade beef lasagna was amazing! The portions are good sizes so I shared my lasagna with my mom. First time here and I’ll definitely be making a stop there whenever I make a trip back to DE.
