I was planning a bday dinner for 8 & had chosen the restaurant strictly based on online reviews. Felt a tad apprehensive as the date approaches but concerns I may hv had soon diminished the minute I entered the res. Lovely ambience and Eduardo the owner was warm & welcoming and most attentive. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. My favorites were clam sauced pasta n that with eggplant. The consensus - this restaurant is truly a neighborhood gem. We will be back.

I visited this restaurant with my girlfriends, and we ate so much that I had to order an entire meal for two to take home for tomorrow night. The food was delicious, and I loved the atmosphere. It was casual, relaxed, and unpretentious. The young woman who served us tonight knew her food and her drinks so well, and the server guy was very attentive. Every dish was carefully designed and cooked with a lot of joy and attention to details. All the desserts were made in house and to their perfection. What a great modern Italian restaurant that we discovered tonight!

First time eating at this restaurant and was absolutely delighted. The gnocchi were like light pillows and the carbonara a delight. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. This is now my new go-to for Italian.
