Food was delicious and Service was very good, as well. Pasta was so fresh and homemade. It's a small, quaint, restaurant with some outdoor seating. Outdoor seating could use something to make it more decorative and separated more from the parking area, maybe nice planters.

The food was amazing, but it took a very long time. It's hard when you have young children. Maybe more of a romantic date night spot.

I rate the food here a 5 but the service a 3 so I rounded my score to a 4. I've lived close to this hidden gem for a while now and I finally visited! They take reservations through Yelp which is nice. I came on a Saturday evening and it was moderately busy inside. I'll start talking about the food first. They serve everything homemade and their pasta is made fresh daily in the shop next door. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and I would come back because of it! Portions are big and good for sharing. You can definitely taste the high quality of the food. Now the service could use some improvement. Maybe they were understaffed because there were only 2 employees covering the check-in area and the whole dining room. It took a long time for everything to be done (getting our order in and getting our food). We had to ask for bread 2-3 times even when we saw other tables seated after us getting bread. Other than that, I recommend this place!

Old world Italian, tucked away in a quaint shopping plaza in the original "little Italy" homemade pasta served with only the freshest ingredients. Had the grilled calamari which was so fresh, ricotta with honey on toasted baguette, and all of our dishes were absolutely mouthwatering delicious. Service was impeccable and incredibly friendly and attentive. Great local spot and worth a destination trip if desired!

I do like this place. Homemade and authentic Italian. The pear risotto with shrimp was fantastic. I can't think of another word to best describe it. I got the chicken Vesuvio, which is a usual favorite of mine. My wife got the risotto, and I have never been more jealous of her in my entire life. Been here a few times, and it is always good always cooked to order, and the services is always pleasant and polite. Not super romantic, but a decent spot if you're looking to impress your date. If you're already married... bring her here anyway you could do to Wow your lady.

Cozy place with an authentic Italian vibe. Food was great and all homemade in house as well were told by our server. We had a party of 7 on a Friday evening and I was so shocked that by 9pm, we were the only ones in there- definitely thought that this place would have been packed all night long. I also felt that the gnocchi portion was a lot smaller than the other pasta dishes, but overall excellent place. BYOB, $10 cork fee. They also have a cute private party room that accommodates up to 45 people.

Is it so? Could it be? A decent Italian restaurant around here? Actually, "decent" would be a major understatement, this place is amazing! My wife and I ordered a pasta dish for each of us and shared the meatballs. I'm not sure exactly what they put in the sauce, but I can tell you it's not preservatives! Which might explain why it was so amazing. The meatballs, and both the pasta dishes, the sauce really was out of this world! That should have been enough, but apparently "al dente" is in their vocabulary as well, because the pasta was cooked absolutely perfectly! As were the meatballs. I mean, you combine the two, and you have yourself one amazing meal. The chicken in my pasta was trimmed nicely, I wasn't biting into any connecting tissue, wasn't chewing any fat. The price was a little up there, but I can see how that might be necessary, given the quality and freshness of everything here.

I love that there is easy, free parking right out front. Upon entering, you are greeted and seated. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but in my opinion, that makes the server a little more attentive to your needs. Once you're seated and given menus, warm, fresh bread shortly follows while you peruse the menu. Our table had the risotto with pear and shrimp, chicken vesuvio, and spaghetti and meatballs. By far, of the three, the risotto was the most amazing dish. I highly recommend giving it a try, if you don't mind all the butter (but what is a risotto without the butter?!)... the meatballs were just "OK" as was the pasta sauce. The noodles had a nice texture, so that was a plus. The chicken vesuvio was good, not amazing, but good. Would get again. Jason was our server and he was great. There was another gentleman there that was cleaning and filling waters, and he was also great. Very attentive. Our meal came out to just over $70, so not breaking the bank but not super affordable either. Overall, 4 stars.
