Friendly and authentic. This was the perfect pit stop after walking all day. We ordered about one item from every section of their menu.

My friends and I stumbled on this restaurant when trying to find somewhere for dinner after 8:30pm on a Sunday night. We found this after originally trying a more casual place nearby when we saw this, which was more the vibe we were going for. The restaurant was laidback with a real trattoria feel. The waitstaff were friendly and accommodating. The food was very good. My friends both had salad starters which they said were good; the caesar was pretty big. I had the mushroom ravioli entree, which had a truffle cream sauce and it was excellent. Rich but not too heavy. My friends had a pizza and gnocchi which they said were good too but agreed I had the star dish. For dessert I had the tiramisu (which is my favorite dessert) and it was good but not outstanding. One of my friends had the canollo which I preferred. Overall, it was perfect for what we wanted after a long day - a relaxed dine in spot with good food.

Came here twice in 4 days - calm and welcoming. Had both pasta and pizza, both were delicious. Good Chianti as well. Thoroughly recommend.

Great Italian restaurant with authentic flavor. Ordered a variety of items from the menu and all were a hit. One pasta dish could have been warmer. Service is what we expect from an authentic place like this. Outdoor seating area made for a nice soirée.

Found this place on Google because we were looking for Gluten Free Pizza….and they had it! Indoor and outdoor dining options. The outdoor is covered so even though it was slightly chilly, you didn’t feel the wind. All the restaurants down this block and the next were all Italian restaurants. The staff was extremely friendly and the food came out so fast. Everything tasted so good and fresh. We enjoyed everything we ordered and would be happy to try this place out again the next time we visit.

Family vacation and was checking reviews, this restaurant was highly rated so decided to visit. We enjoyed it so much we came back the next night, which was our last night in town. In a city that is known for great food, this is one of the best. The handmade ravioli with portobello mushroom was fantastic. The service was fast, very friendly and helpful. The owner was friendly and great to talk to. Can not recommend this restaurant any higher!

Outstanding food. We just got back from Florence Italy so our standards a pretty high. I would not say this was as good as the food there but it was darn close. Fabulous white pinsa, fresh burrata and prosciutto. Decent chianti. Very much enjoyed our meal.

Came here a few Friday’s ago and it was amazing! We waited about 15 mins for a table, on a Friday evening which was really good timing.The food here was delicious! I had the lasagna and pizza, both were fantastic. The lasagna was very sauce and flavorful and pizza was a nice thin crust with great toppings

Very yummy and great service! Waiter was super funny and very kind. Very nice hip place small but there is seating inside and outside as well with those heat lamps. Great menu great food great service great location what more can you ask for.

Delicious authentic food, affordable prices, great service -- this is an awesome simple Italian restaurant that won't disappoint. Loved their carbonara and arrabiata.
