Do Not judge the food on the bread. Don’t bother trying the bread. I’m not certain how they call it bread… I honestly no joke almost told our group to leave if the bread was any indicator of the food to come.. and it was a special occasion so I didn’t want to risk it but we had already opened a bottle of wine so I was willing to chance it..

Food was very good, service was very good, location on the street charming. We got a table in the back unfortunately and we were not able to appreciate the ambience of the setting. Perhaps on a second visit.

This was our first time here, and it was Father’s Day (evening). The food was very good. Small portions on the pasta dish. Warm bread with oil and vinegar before was nice. Our server was extremely nice, but service was slow, could have been from the holiday and possible shortage of staff? I feel like for the price of the dishes, a side salad or ?? something should come with the dishes. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

Amazing! The flavors are rich and bold. Hands down one of the best italian dinners I’ve ever had. The meatballs were seasoned well and the sauce they came in went great with the bread. Overall a must go to whenever a good meal is needed.

Our food was amazing and the service was fantastic. As it is a smaller restaurant with minimal soft surfaces, it does get quite noisy with people talking, then talking louder as it gets busier and wine glasses get low; then louder to overcome the tasteful music playing and etc. I LOVE this restaurant, that’s like the only thing for me, and it doesn’t stop me from coming. Also, bomb tiramisu!!

I must have been living under a rock to not have been aware that this place was here, so close to home. First of all the food is as close to legitimate Italian food as possible. Everything we ordered was delicious and we’ll presented. The servers and personnel were friendly. I had the ciopino soup and it was to die for. I can’t wait to go back and try their other offerings. My wife and kids liked their food equally. We all have been to Italy and we can easily refer anyone to this place if they want to try real Italian food. The bruscheta is my barometer to measure the quality of the food relative to Italy’s and theirs is second to none.

Our experience at this restaurant was great. It is a small place but that is what makes it amazing because you get hit with the aromas of the dishes being prepared in the kitchen. We were not neglected by the staff who were courteous and knowledgeable of the menu. From antipasti to dolce each dish was a great experience. Thank you for making our first visit so memorable.

Portion is very small. Paid $24 for this resotto with pork. I could barely see any pork.

Rosario has been an original there. We had the Gnocchi and Contadina, with a nice Montalcino red I brought in. They have a wonderful wine selection also!!! Tuesdays are a perfect evening for a quiet meal! Love the food!
