Their speciality is pizza. Some were really good like the Straciatella - crisp and very tasty all over. Others that have more toppings and more cheese became saggy like the prosciutto e funghi pizza. Desserts - Pistachio tiramisu was the bomb even considering i am not a fan of pistachio dessert - it had everything good and tasty from the regular tiramisu with an added taste variation from the pista, made for a finger licking dessert. Vanilla gelato was yummy surprisingly- I thought it would be very plain, but the vanilla shone through spectacularly. Strawberry basil gelato was more like a sorbetto in texture, not bad tasting, it was refreshing but not as elevated as I expected.

We ordered a variety of dishes which included several appetizers, several pizzas, lasagna, lemon chicken and tagliatelle alla bolognese. Every dish was scrumptious and really well made. The portions were generous and the ingredients were fresh and genuine. Momo and his entire staff were cordial and professional.

Delicious Italian food feel like you are in Italy. Chef Momo personally spoke to us and served his delicacies. We will return with our other family members. They have different tasting oils, which are interesting and an extra addition

Considering the price I was slightly disappointed. Two of us (each) ordered pasta with pesto - I think when we were served our entree we should have been offered fresh grated cheese - did not happen. The other couple ordered meatballs - odd the meatballs were on a plate with a bowl of sauce in the middle. The other couple also ordered a pizza - it was obvious they were sharing - my husband’s and my pasta dishes were brought to us and after a long everything came out at different times. Not certain I would go back.

Hi Cherie, Thank you for your feedback and visit. The reason for not being offered fresh cheese is that Chef Momo has already added cheese to the dishes based on his ideal flavor balance. He feels adding more takes away from the fresh basil in the pasta. He requests the servers do not suggest more cheese on top. Of course, if you prefer a cheesier pasta we are happy to bring it to the table. Often restaurants hold dishes in the back under heaters so they arrive at the table at the same time. We do not do this so the pasta is served al dente and the pizza crust is fresh out of the oven. Chef has requested we serve them as they are ready and he encourages everyone to enjoy the food family style. I am sorry this inconvenienced you and we hope you will give us another try.

Everything was fantastic! I’ve been wanting to come here for a while and I’m glad we did! The service was great but the pizzas were truly delightful. We tried the Moroccan, the mushroom and the carbonara. My fave is the Moroccan. They also offer little bottles on each table with house infused oils—they add just a little extra special something! We will be coming back.

Very unremarkable and pasta options limited. I wanted to like this place, but there are better options nearby.

Hi Lisa, Thank you for your review. Our system has you as a no show for your reservation. Would you kindly let me know what you ordered in case you did come in? Since you are listed as a no show, I can't look up your table and order. Reviews are meant to help restaurants improve so I would like more details. We are a pizzeria and currently offer 4 pastas on our menu. We plan to expand that offering but we will never have too many as the focus is on pizza. So happy you have alternative places nearby that suit your taste for pasta better. There are some great full service pasta restaurants nearby.
