“ Went here last week for a nice dinner with my friend for Easter-- The food was incredible and our server Kristy was very helpful, kind, and accommodating. Had a generous serving of incredible Penne a la Vodka with my friend, and we still had some leftover! In terms of appetizers, bruschetta was a tad underwhelming but still good, mozzarella sticks and garlic bread were also good. Definitely recommend you check this place out! ”
“ Stopped in and had dinner while in town for the weekend. Our server was amazing, very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the pasta dinner for two. Comes with an appetizer, large shareable salad, 2 pasta dinners, and a dessert. Everything from the service to the food was fantastic!! Can’t wait to visit again while in town. ”
“ This place is great! An intimate bar setting with a certain charm. The appetizer garlic cheese (warm & fresh) bread was a nice starter. The spaghetti with marinara was simple but delicious and the meatballs were tender and flavorful. The rigatoni with meat sauce was fantastic. Great depth of flavor and rich. Our server was delightful too. Highly recommend! ”
“ Incredible flavorful and generous servings. Having traveled to Italy every year, it’s often a challenge to find a place that has the care and uniqueness of genuine Italian dishes. The Pasta Bowl really was spot on for the Spaghetti Frutta Di Mare as seafood pasta is always a favorite when I travel abroad. The scallops were plentiful and filled with flavor the shrimp was cooked perfectly and the mussels were perfect as well... the pasta was perfectly cooked to taste. Although it was a very generous portion.... I just ate it til it was gone!! My guests also enjoyed their dishes as well!! The pictures will illustrate our servings, but please stop in and know for yourself, this is a good choice for great Italian dishes. ”
“ Everything was amazing from the friendly service to the great vibes and of course the super tasty food! Our first time here and most definitely coming back!! ”

“ Omg! So amazingly good! So glad I decided to order when I was craving fettuccine alfredo! It already came with grilled chicken, and I added broccoli ! It was the perfect blend of cheese, cream, chicken and noodles! Exactly what I had in mind, and ended my weekend on a high note! Will go here again, and would recommend go anyone! ... ”
“ We decided to treat ourselves for restaurant week. Jael was our server and she was absolutely amazing! Thank you for a lovely dinner. The Chicken Farfalle, Calamari, Tiramisu and Ceasar salad were all delicious! ”
