We had white wine seafood pasta, seafood risotto and mushroom pizza. Seafood is fresh, portion is good and pizza is great! Kids love it ! We sit indoor which is a bit too dark for me. I will recommend sitting outside in this season.

1. The service is amazing. On a busy Saturday afternoon, we felt very taken care of. 2. The Naples style pizza here is as fresh and true to authentic as possible. It's also about $5-7 less expensive than other places in the area. I feel this...Read More

We loved the atmosphere and our happy hour drinks with the generous food portions. The staff was extremely welcoming and it was our first time in Little Italy since the pandemic began. Best thing about this place is my sugar remained low after into the evening.

Food was so amazing. Absolutely outdid themselves on my lobster ravioli, the mushrooms are cooked and seasoned perfectly. Also an amazing Aperol spritz. Recommend to anyone wanting authentic Italian. Ask for extra sauce!! Really just brings it up a notch.

I tried two restaurants today, and the seafood risotto at this place was absolutely delicious! The seafood was incredibly juicy and fresh, and the pre-meal bread was also fantastic. The dipping sauce, a slightly spicy tomato blend, was unique—something I haven’t found anywhere else. The only...Read More
