This restaurant is amazing. It is the most authentic Italian food we have ever tasted so far in the United States. It is for sure our favorite when we feel like having some food that reminds us home. Their saffron risotto is better than my mom’s! Pappardelle alla bolognese, tiramisu and risotto con ossobuco are definitely recommended. Service is great, they make you feel welcomed and at home. Good job guys!

Got to go to one of our favorite restaurants to make 20 years with my favorite person, whats not to love? The food is great and its the kind of thing you don't want to make at home, the wine is solid (and the cocktails!), even on a night when they were short-staffed the service was very good (they must have had a call out), you get that incredible garlic paste with hot bread, theres just no reason not to check this off-the-beaten-path gem out.
