Superb pasta and amazing service by chef Mario himself! We had the ubriaca, sombreri, and fettuccini. We could not pick a favorite because they all had such different flavors and all the pasta was cooked to a perfect all dente 👌🏻 couldn’t have asked for a better dinner out!

It was quite loud sitting out in the covered patio area. Getting to the table took a little longer, but I think that might have been a staffing issue so no dings for that. Once we ordered food came fast, drinks lagged a little. We got our appetizer well before wine and 2 cocktails. The bread with the spread was yummy! Squash blossoms were fantastic. All the pastas were clearly fresh made and the flavors were well balanced. I got the lobster ravioli with crab. The ricotta inside was a little dry and over-powering so it was hard to taste the crab. There was a decent amount of lobster in bite size pieces with good flavor. They fill the cannolis to order and were well liked. Everyone seemed to like their entree, but no one was raving about anything specific. I'd go again and try something else.

Some amazing dishes including the mushroom flan and red wine pasta. Another stand out is not on the menu. Come ready to eat the bread and seasoned whipped cheese spread.

My wife and I come here every year on Valentine’s Day. Best experience by far. Service is great. Owner is extremely nice and friendly. Food is incredible. The herb marinated lamb chops were perfect. The only issue I have is with parking but that can’t be helped. 10/10 experience every time.
