A great place for families and big groups. The pastas were all fresh and flavourful while the noodles were absolutely cooked al dente! The salad was crisp with the right amount of toppings and dressing. The meat platter was grilled nicely and was the perfect complement to the pasta. You can choose to pair it with their house red wine to complete the overall experience.

Service and atomosphere were awesome and the Bruschetta was delicious. My date got the vodka pasta, it was decent. Plentiful portion. I got the Salsiccia which I felt more flavorful than the vodka. All in all, a great date night out.

What can I say, this place is an absolute gem. My dad and I went here two times in two days. Once for lunch and once for dinner. We came in from out of town. We ate indoors for lunch the first day, which by the way has very limited seating, and ate outdoors for dinner the second day. Outdoor seating and ambiance is very nice and is accompanied by patio heaters. Service was top-notch both days. Food was absolutely exceptional. Wine menu was very nice as well. Paired meals both days with some lovely Italian sangios. GO HERE!

So this place was one of those that was out of my comfort zone bc it was def a little fancier than your average Pizza Hut or Domino’s. But hey a homie was in town and we wanted to grab dinner. So we moseyed on over and damn the fancy was palpable my dudes. Reflected in them prices. Gotta be real tho the stuff was fresh af and the vibes were vibinnggggg. Ordered them veggie items cause was with them Zabihatarian Muslims ya feel. Also the salmon stuff was a bit pricey and I got some tummy funks with the shrimps. The pesto was hella good, my friends enjoyed them red sauced the other white pasta. Kinda really racially diverse getting the green, red, and white pasta #0discrimination. Staff dude was kinda curt ngl and gave the feel that he was too cool. Honestly he probs was too. But still. Good spot for a fancy Italian night. And the tiramisu was cloudy af. Would use to get diabetes.

Legit delicious Italian. Not knocking on Olive Garden (I have my OG cravings every now and then), but if the best Italian restaurant for you is OG or Bucca di Peppo, you are seriously missing out. This is Italian in its best form. Simple, home made, amazing ingredients, and just plain delicious. My only gripe is the parking lot is tiny so if you get a spot, the parking gods are with you. Otherwise, get ready to look for street parking, which is pretty hard on a Friday night. No reservations so be prepared for a wait. Very loud inside but the food is worth it. Had the Gamberi e Prosciutto (to die for), Aglio e olio (anchovy isn’t overpowering and just the right amount), Cacio e Pepe (reminds me of Scarpetta’s spaghetti now sadly closed in Vegas). Balanced flavors and love that the pasta is handmade in house. You can also purchase uncooked pasta. The restaurant is connected to the cafe so the desserts and coffees are also an option after. From the drinks, the main courses, and desserts and coffee, everything was surperb! Our new go to Italian place!
