Amazing service! Went to celebrate my ring ceremony and they went above and beyond! The guanciale was a little too fatty for my preference of meat (that’s on me lol) but the GF pasta is outstanding! Some of the best tiramisu and chicken parmesan I have ever had!

Asti is always wonderful. It is in my neighborhood and we go there frequently. The food is delicious. I have favorites but I like to try something different once and a while. I have never been disappointed. The artichokes are the perfect appetizer. The pizzas are the best in town and the Affogata is the best dessert ever.

This is a cozy Italian restaurant with great service and excellent food. Menu is not huge but there are daily specials and other good options. We had the carbonara and lamb parpadelle, both delicious! Prices are reasonable too
