We’ve lived in the neighborhood for years and finally made it in. I wish we’d come sooner!

Why go to any other Italian restaurant?

We had an alumni gathering for 10 there for lunch. Setup/service: impeccable. The items on the expansive menu were universally praised by our guests. The bucata, meatballs and mushroom chicken, my dishes, were exceptionally well prepared. While small, the space is well laid-out and comfortable for groups of various sizes. There is plentiful street parking nearby and five free of charge spots directly in front of the restaurant.

It’s been a while since I have been here and the food is excellent. However I was disappointed by our waiter. He was rude to my daughter and made us feel uncomfortable.

I was extremely let down because I came here with the highest expectations and recommendations. I was pleased to see the mask requirements to even enter. Unfortunately, I now wish I’d kept my mask on the entire dinner and not eaten. The food was mediocre. The servings are extremely small and over priced. I should have taken notice of the 3 star yelp rating but didn’t. Apparently this is a spot to pry dollars out of the patrons
