We almost walked by because we didn 't see much on the menu that would be vegan, but I decided to ask anyway, and they pointed out a few things that were vegan, including the mushroom ravioli, which was listed as having eggs on the menu. They said they recently changed the recipe. They also offered to make something off-menu which was so sweet. We had a spaghetti with veggies, olives and capers, and the veggies were cooked to perfection- not too soft but still well-cooked and well-seasoned. We all fought over the broccoli. The mushroom ravioli was exquisite, and a very generous portion, which is unusual with time-consuming ravioli. The surprising winner, though, was the Pasta e Cecci, which we make at home often, but will certainly never make the same way again. I thought at first that it had tortilla strips in it. Okay, strange, but, wow, actually delicious because the crispy, roasty, fried strips complemented the earthy, soft chickpeas perfectly. I asked the owner and she said it was her grandmother 's recipe from Puglia! So, probably fried linguini, not corn chips, lol . I 've never had anything like it, and we couldn 't stop eating it. The bruschetta was also incredible, finding the perfect balance of fresh and light with rich and satisfying. Even the lemonade was perfect. They make it fresh to order, and it was not very sweet, but still definitely lemonade, not lemon water. The wine was reportedly like being back in Italy and they brought out books for the kids, then took them back when the food arrived and instructed the kids to focus on eating. It was all perfect. We would go there all the time if we lived here. Updated from previous review on 2023-11-28
