Most wonderful dining experience! I never write reviews but had to after the delicious food I enjoyed here. Mario, the owner, was so accommodating and kind. The pesto pasta, burrata, and tomato sauce were all delicious. Will definitely be back!

My favorite place in town, and I am so glad to (post-vaccination) be going back there. I don't often have shellfish but last night had clams as appetizer (superb) and scallop risotto (very very good

Superb, authentic Italian cuisine with great pasta entrees and delicious appetizers. Especially enjoyed the warm artichoke hearts in lemon butter and the cacio e pepe. Servers were welcoming and professional. One of our best Italian meals in a long time. Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
