“Love this little Italian gem. Everything always delicious (altho' I still miss the meatball bar) & servers always helpful, kind & obviously proud of the establishment where they work. Reasonably priced selection of very good Italian wines as well. Nice that expanded space makes dining outside a pleasure (inside is tiny).“
