Thaii is an incredible cook and Mario the perfect Maitre d'. The free tasty bread (foccacia with oil and seasoning) is soft AND crusty. The Piccata bowl is delicious, the Bolognese tasty and just what Bolognese should be! The candied walnut salad is huge and delicious!! The atmosphere is charming with outside tables and heaters and overhead trattoria lights. The inside is broken up with pieces of furniture, bicycles, and tables with candles, some for 4 some for 2, one with a quaint tablet lamp. There's a cozy sofa and bar for those wanting to spend a little time with friends! A perfect neighborhood gathering place! UPDATE: December 2021 I'm still going back and the food is as good as ever. Get the pepperoni pizza, or get spaghetti with wonderful meatballs. The appetizer kalamata olives and bread are always delicious. Last night I was on my own and sat at the bar and chatted with Mario while an amazing pianist entertained the lively 30 people gathered in this cozy spot on a winter night.

With this humble locally owned Italian super tasty hide away, the only limits here are your stomach and travel miles. The lasagna (get there early only available as supply lasts) or several nightly specials are to die for. Oh ya, Mario will be happy to serve up one their awesomely fresh pizzas too.

The menu trends in a contemporary direction, with emphasis on fresh and organic fare while still keeping with that home cook feel. My favoritedish was the Gamberi, which was out of this world. The sauce just blew me away. Sooo unforgettable. Their pizza and lasagna area must have! And the plum and berry pie which is this freshly baked puff pastry, drizzled in fresh fruits and fruit compote, wasmelt in your mouth divine. I swear I was floating on a cloud. Everything from appetizers to dessert are made from scratch!Owners Thais, Mario, and their wonderful staff are attentive, friendly and hard working. Thank you for making us feel special???? A glowing review for Thario's!!! ?
