We hadn’t been here since they first opened and were still finding their footing. Finally made it back for dinner and WOW do I regret waiting so long. The menu is fabulous. The dishes were seasonal, generous and outstanding. This place is a gem and true Italian. Lucky Fairfax. We’ll be back more often!
It's like your best friend's Italian family invited you over for dinner. Everything is fresh, handmade, and memorably delicious! It is worth the drive up to this lovely piece of the bay area just for dinner!

Wine recommendations from the owner and chef, Elena, add to the experience, with suggestions like Giovanni Ross Etna Ross receiving positive feedback.
