Everything was delicious! Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had homemade ravioli with meatballs and the sauce is so delicious! Cannolis for dessert we're also great! The owner visited our table and was so friendly! 10 out of 10⭐️ We are here for another week and plan on dining here again
