I was really excited to try this restaurant based on the reviews. It’s a small place with a great atmosphere. Our server was nice and very attentive. The salad and eggplant were excellent. Unfortunately we did not enjoy our entrees. The meatballs tasted funny and the red sauce is not very good. My dad didn’t like his clams either. I’m being generous with a 4 since the staff was so nice.
Quaint sweet spot, but boy are they huge in quality! Best ciabatta bread I’ve ever had (baked in house), freshest most perfectly dressed salad, succulently cooked pastas (we had the bucatini with clams - clams swam straight from ocean to dish, spaghetti with meatballs and the cacio pepe). The wines are the most excellent I’ve savored in a while. The Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige is the type of wine that inspires poetry and all that is wonderful with the world. Bravo!!
Caught in a rainstorm and couldn't get into our original choice. So glad we could get in here. Excellent food. Intimate dining experience. Very European. Our salads were obviously fresh produce from the area. My Cacio y Pepe was excellent. Felt like I was in Rome again.
