Wonderful outside space, safe and spacious. Fabulous food, flexible menu, reasonably priced with chef's delicious "gifts" for the table of bruschetta before and freshly baked, warm cookies after our scrumptious meal. Very attentive yet unobtrusive service. What a neighborhood find. This will be our go to Italian place.
