Everyone is always welcome at this fun neighborhood eatery. Owners Becka and Armondo make you feel like honored guests every visit and the chefs never disappoint. Difficult to decide on what to order because everything is delicious.

Rigatoni is one of my favorites. Cugini’s rigatoni ala cabrese is delicious. The pasta is cooked perfectly. The sauce is sweet. The sausage has all the good spices.
