Very nice small restaurant with good authentic italian food, served by smilling and kind servers. This is a place where you should stop before going to the airport.

The service was incredible tonight. The filet was cooked perfect, and the pastas were very nice. Probably the best and most thoughtful wine selection of any restaurant I’ve been to in a while. I’m looking forward to returning.

Absolutely fantastic! The lasagna with béchamel was great! Tuesday night party of 3 with no reservation, they had a large seating of maybe 20 people, we waited 15 - 20 minutes. Probably a little louder than normal because of the large seating.
$20–30Atmosphere: 5Loud, but you can still talk3-4 people, Suitable for all group sizes10-30 minNot sureTo me the restaurant is better suited older teenagers and adults.

One of our favorite restaurants. Excellent service and the food is wonderful. My favorite is the Cotolette di Vitello Impanate but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
