The service was impeccable. Our waitress was knowledgeable about each dish and eager to share her recommendations. We ordered the Margherita pizza, a kid’s cheese pizza, the porchetta, and the ripieni. While I didn’t try the porchetta, I did have the ripieni, and it was the closest dish I’ve had to my favorite meal in Parma, Italy. It was incredibly flavorful, and the cream sauce was so decadent that I almost didn’t want to finish it—I didn’t want the experience to end.
Typically, we don’t order dessert, but the food here was so good that we couldn’t resist. We ended up with the seasonal gelato pie, which tasted like an Italian strawberry shortcake. It was so irresistible that it deserved an eyes-closed moment.
This place comes highly recommended by me and is absolutely worth the hour-and-a-half drive for a date night—I promise!
