Intimate place with great food and service. Chicken parmesan and rigatoni were delicious. If I lived closer, I certainly would be a regular.
I’ve had a lot of Italian and to look at the menu I was thought, “Well everyone says it’s good but not really all of my favorite traditional dishes”. Well, I was wrong as each and every item my wife and I tried was not good but excellent. Happy I live two blocks away to go back and try more. 4.8/5 in my book 😋
Authentic Italian with the right Twist!
Intimate but lively atmosphere!
This place is the Real Deal
