This is a charming neighborhood place with an intimate vibe. Although the menu is not that extensive, the food is excellent. The pastas are a great value. The wine list is hefty, but that seems to be the case everywhere these days.

Set up a last minute late night reservation and was very impressed. The service was friendly and warm, and very efficient and quick. Waitstaff checked in multiple times throughout the night. The food was amazing! The pollo milanese was cooked to perfection. The carbonara was creamy and delightful. Even the focaccia we ordered as a starter was savory and light. Loved every minute and will definitely be coming back!

The pasta was excellent, truly superb. I had the ravioli which was one of the best Italian dishes I’ve ever had. The antipasta (arancino rather than arancini as indicated by the menu) tasted a little off—perhaps frozen?—and the dessert I had (panna cota) was presented a flan rather than a true panna cota.
