Description

This hidden gem of an Italian restaurant offers a divine dining experience from start to finish. With a glorious patio and equally charming interior, it is an amazing spot for a date night. The homemade pasta and fantastic specials make for an authentic and delicious meal, with the vegetarian options being particularly noteworthy. The attentive staff and spectacular service only add to the overall experience.

Whether you're a fan of AC Milan or Interista, this restaurant is sure to transport you to the streets of Italy with each bite. Although the prices may be on the higher side, the quality of the food and exceptional dining experience certainly justify the cost.

Great patio for a warm weather date night. BYOB with $6 corkage fee is reasonable considering they serve wine. Complimentary bruschetta is yummy and refreshing. I ordered the lobster penne special and while a little pricey which was expected, the portion was large and I only got through about 1/3 of it. My date got the tortelloni al burro fuso with delicious nutty butter sauce which I'll probably be ordering when we visit again.

Love this place. The food is divine, and the chef has personally come to check on my table both times I've eaten here. Also, complimentary bruschetta! Yum. 4 stars instead of 5 because they charge a corking fee and a bottle fee, so even though it's a byob you'll have to pay for each bottle of beer and bottle of wine. Would definitely recommend it, but I was say bring wine not beer to drink.

Simply the best. From the staff to the specials to the homemade pasta, it's a hidden gem and amazing date spot as well. The patio is glorious but inside doesn't miss a beat either. Love this place.

The gnocchi was excellent as was the risotto of the day, which in our case included Italian sausage. We also tried the rollata di mozzarella appetizer and cioccolatissimo desert, both of which were great. FYI it is BYOB.
