    The gnocchi melted in our mouths - so smooth, so delicious in the house made sauce! The salads, the entrees and desserts were all on point and will definitely bring us back. Our one critique is of the apéritifs - the glasses for our after-dinner drinks were quite tiny compared to our expectations. They essentially felt like a thimbleful, and, given the $8 - $12 price tags, did not measure up. Other than that, we found the entire dinner quite enjoyable.

    We really enjoyed celebrating Father's Day with authentic Italian food. Especially the fresh gnocchi with vodka sauce. Great service and atmosphere. Looking forward to returning when weather is nice to eat on the back patio.

    We had high expectations, based on the reviews, and we were disappointed by both the quality of what was served to us and the manner in which it was served. The eggplant in the veggie antipasto and the octopus in that antipasto were burned. The pesto cream in the veggie antipasto was broken. Our pasta dish was served with our entrees, instead of as the second dish. The cocktails were good, but the wine list was not. In fact, the bottle we wanted to order was not available. The outdoor seating space was very nice.

    Great authentic Italian food at a reasonable price. Not salty at all, which for some reason a lot of restaurants douse their food with. Great ambiance. We sat inside but there is outside seating also.
