This is a hidden gem! A small Italian restaurant with impeccable service and fabulous pastas. Not to be missed if you love pastas cooked to perfection ! A very nice menu at reasonable prices served up and prepared with passion and love! Sitting in their small terrace is like escaping to Italy for a night! Now about the food… we shared the polpetti and suprema salad (burrada spinach nuts and prosciutto). Both were excellent and perfect for sharing. Pastas choices were difficult as it all looked great… in the end my husband had linguine del casa (prosciutto, black olives, capers, tossed in olive oil). I had the blackboard special, ca,(paccheri pasta Smokey bacon spinach and rose sauce with Gorgonzola) which was outstanding! Sadly we were too full for dessert! Drinks and wine are reasonably priced as well. This restaurant is a neighborhood favourite, filled with locals and well worth the trek.

The service was amazing, nice relaxed outdoor atmosphere and food was incredible. Loved the gnocchi and tiramisu as well as the special (linguini and shrimp with a lemon sauce). We will be back.

Great food, prepared by an italian cheff, who gives this italian touch. Small place but the food is the thing that makes you go. read more Great food, prepared by an italian cheff, who gives this italian touch. Small place but the food is the thing that makes you go.

Don't let that discourage you. The food was excellent. The prices fair and the service terrific. I emailed about using credit cards and the reply was prompt and affirmative. I would definitely eat here again. As nearly the entire dining area is outside, there is a potential for bugs but Citronella strips were used under the table on the ground and the bugs disappeared. We were offered bug spray as well. Once that is behind you, sit back, enjoy the food and have a great evening.
