Six stars for this delightful beautiful delicious restaurant! My group ordered Chau pasta, spaghetti Bolognese, chicken... parmigiana, and I enjoyed portobello ravioli. We all absolutely loved our food! The meal began with some amazing bread and oliveoil with olives in it. The mushroom ravioli that I enjoyed was exquisite. You could tell the raviolis were handmade and thecreamy sauce was divine! The design and the Decour of the restaurant was modern and beautiful. The scooter in the front when youwalk in and set the town for the Italian restaurant also. There was an outdoor patio with romantic Lighting but we chose to sitinside which was wonderful. I highly recommend this one-of-a-kind restaurant! Bellissimo! Read more

Absolutely delicious food, our waiter was super sweet, very experienced for sure, came as needed, he let us enjoy our meal. The... food looks amazing and tasted the same. I’ll post some pictures. Have the cannoli, I promise you will not regret it ???? Read more

Oh my goodness, what a wonderful gem. I was afraid it was a tourist trap but I was completely mistaken. I loved the outdoor... patio area and the indoor decor they have — perfect for a date night or even large parties. I’m not sure if the pasta ishandmade but it sure tastes like it. Your meal will start off with a focaccia like break with an olive oil + minced olives (Idon’t even like olives but it was delish). You can’t go wrong with any pasta dishes — short rib with orecchiette, bakedsheets with ham, béchamel and vodka sauce, ravioli. Oh and their calamari was also a hit — lightly battered and crisp. Ican’t wait to return and try the rest of the menu. Thanks to the waitstaff and chefs for a lovely Sat afternoon lunch.???????? Read more
