    It started with the burrata fritta and was amazing, the waiter explained to us what that appetizer was in detail before ordering. Then moving on to our entrees, we both chose pastas and both were exceptional. We have just recently returned from Italy and are craving good Italian food. They did not let us down. However did order the table side cannoli and it wasn't table side. It was good just expected or to be table side and it wasn't. Other than that we will be back with family and friends

    This restaurant was so cute inside. Small and intimate, but not crowded. Our server, Junior was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was wonderful and we had a great evening before our show at the Dr. Phillips Center. We will definitely be back next time we are in town for an event!
