Some of the best food my date and I have ever had! Went there for Valentine’s day, and it was clean, and the wait staff was so incredibly nice. The service was frequent but not too often, and we even had a special valentines themed dessert that was outstanding. We had shrimp scampi, porcini campanelle, octopus salad, and calamari, all of which were fantastic. Would 100% go again for a special occasion!

Hidden gem. We made reservations in advance, recommended. Tasty and authentic food. I had the linguine with butternut squash and sundried tomatoes. Delicious. My friend had the gnocchi with a side of meatballs. Authentic and seasoned to want you to eat every bite. The service was excellent and the ambience was exceptional. I am curious if the menu changes seasonally. I definitely will dine there again.
