    Good couvert w parmesan cheese, olive oil and bread (seems to be homemade. So good!). Plates are not too big for saladas and meal, but the pasta meals are huge!

    Stick to the tried-and-true, like mussels in spicy tomato sauce or linguine with sautéed shrimp and asparagus in a sauce of white wine, tomato, and basil. Read more

    They have happy hour now! I got a glass of wine and carpaccio, which was quite good.

    Go here for your next nostalgia fix of Italian American home cooking, especially if you have gluten issues.

    A great place for a traditional, albeit always changing, Italian meal. Very well prepared versions of standards. Read more

    Loved the linguine funghetti- but it's very umame, and heavy! The bread pudding dessert was delicious. Skip the cocktails

    For as silly as it may sound, I think they have one of the best Caesar salads in town.

    The risotto appetizer is wonderful (make sure you like mushrooms) the gnocchi is fantastic and the bolognase.

    I had the rigatoni and I thought it was just ok. Nothing on the menu really just jumped out to me.

    Seated right away, but the rest of the service was lacking. Food was delicious, but not really the authentic Italian it's cracked up to be.

    Don't fill up on bread. The portions are big (though the food is average).

    Вкусное меню, но цены в приложении выставлены не верно, минимум три $$$. В остальном все кайф, хотя) коктейли могли бы научиться делать
