It is a little hidden gem. The food was authentic and unique. It had a hearty home cooked taste to it.. In one word - delicious. The menu was surprisingly different, not the standard fare that you get in most Italian restaurants. Atmosphere was cozy and the staff was very welcome. I highly recommend it.

Small quaint resturant with limited seating..Food was so delicious!! Everything was fresh and made to order
..the starters stuffed clams, eggplant rolatini, crab cakes and mozzarella was a great start..double pork chop, shrimp and pasta , veal, special of the night fish and skirt steak dinners were all fantastic!! Well worth the trip!!

This place will transport you. I recommend the back patio, which feels like a secret hideaway—it’s truly special. The service is very attentive and is professional, and the food is outstanding. It’s not cheap but it is BYOB which makes the overall value compelling. The specials list was so tempting I wanted to order everything, but we settled on burrata and escarole and bean soup to start, followed by lamb shank over pappardelle for my husband and pork Milanese for me.
