Reviews

The spot is unique - very old school Italian vibes but still classy.
Food is fantastic, flavorful and portions are massive.
Couple of special mentions would be the Bruschetta and Tortellini Prosciutto were incredible.
Service was on point with a lot of help.
Kind of a bummer because their espresso machine was broken but only means I have to come back again to get my fix. Overall, glad to have stumbled upon this spot!

Cozy spot, complete with cool old school decor and a live piano player which was a nice touch.
Overall, did I like the food? Meh.
We ordered broccoli, salad, a portabella appetizer, eggplant parmigiana, and jalapeño gnocchi.
Out of everything, the gnocchi was the only dish that really stood out, tasty but spicy, so heads up! The rest of the food didn't quite hit the mark for me.
The red sauce on the pasta and eggplant was too acidic without anything to balance it out.
The portabella was drowned in a thick dressing that kinda killed the mushroom vibe.
And the eggplant parm? Not great.

A quaint restaurant reminiscent of old Italian restaurants.
Great food.
Best Italian beef I've ever had.
Sausage and peppers are delicious, too.
Being Italian, I was very impressed.
