A hidden gem

Tried it because I was near by and google search listed this. Service was good enough. Decor was in keep of a neighborhood Italian restaurant. Food was just OK for me. We ordered two pasta dish and some bread. Looking at the other review, It seems like we are in the minority.

Been here three times. Best thing I've eaten here is the cheesecake. It's a 6 out a 10. Had parmesan chicken. Chicken tasted old, was dry AND I had to remove cartilage three times. The pasta needed a lot more sauce. Sauce was a bit bland. The bread they serve is tough, chewy and flavorless. They serve it with garlic flavored chilled snot. I'd rather eat anywhere else.

Local favorite northern Italian and high end pizza. The pizza is great but most people come for the entrées.

Really not that good for the price. I would expect it to be pretty nice but it was just mediocre. Also they gave every table bread except us for some reason??

One of the BEST places for a delicious Italian meal! Almost don't want to leave a review, to keep this hidden little gem a secret- but they deserve the business. So good! :)

The AC was freezing when we first sat down 🥶, even though it was around 60°F outside. Thankfully, our server was kind enough to turn it off, which we really appreciated.

We ordered the shellfish pasta and the meat lover pizza.
- The pasta was flavorful and well-seasoned, though the noodles themselves weren’t great, I’m quite picky about pasta texture.
- The pizza, however, was below average compared to other Italian restaurants I’ve tried. The crust was thick, and the dough, cheese, and toppings (sausage, mushroom, etc.) felt like separate components rather than a cohesive dish.

Overall, I’d recommend coming here for the pasta, but I’d skip the pizza next time.

I brought a large group of friends here, and the thing that I walked away with was that the staff was very accommodating and attentive. I had 15 friends join me for dinner, and I was unfamiliar with the restaurant, not knowing how quaint it is inside.They accommodated us, but we were really stuffed into the space. It was a little uncomfortable. I would love to dine in here again, with a smaller group of friends. Thank you for the wonderful service.

We ordered fired calamari and artichoke as starters, they were both good
We also ordered margarita pizza and chicken Parmesan, the margarita pizza had fresh tomato cubes on it and the crust was very thick as for pastry dough, which was really weird, and it wasn’t good, the chicken Parmesan was very dry and had no flavor, even after all the parmesan cheese we added to it.

This is *EXACTLY* what a dining experience should look like.

From the moment we stepped in the door, we were welcomed with warmth and smiles, as if we were stepping into the home of a dear friend or even family.

We were seated promptly, attended to quickly and graciously by the warm, friendly, and jovial staff members.

Not only did the food come quickly, but the portion sizes were on point, and had the taste of authentic Italian fare.

All in all, a wonderful experience ~ would not hesitate to visit again and recommend to anybody who would like to experience true Italian hospitality.

BRAVISSIMO!
