    This is a wonderful venue. A real Italian menu with variety and reasonable prices. It also has a good vibe. Fun. We had a unique artichoke appetizer, veal piccata, pasta, and wine. All delicious. We also walked out with a pizza in a box. As full as we were, you cannot pass up their pizza. It is simply and truthfully, the best Italian pizza I have ever had in this country. Like sitting down in Naples, Rome, or Florence. It is outstanding.

    The waitstaff and management are top notch! Food was delicious! Good sized portions and came to the table hot! FYI- if you don’t like spicy food, make sure to ask for it mild. My eggplant had chili pepper in it and it didn’t mention the spice in the description. The meal was very tasty otherwise! It’s my second time there and I will continue to bring my out of town guests here. Why shlepp all the way to downtown Naples when a great restaurant is in our backyard!
