Omar YacoubiSeptember 25, 2020The Penne Norma was quite beyond the norm: like eggplant parmesan, but elevated to a new art form—creamy, thinly sliced, meaty, al dente, and delish!
- Shannon ZMay 12, 2014Pros: good food, nice patio when the weather permits, gluten free and vegetarian options. Cons: the price and horrible service.
ArpitaFebruary 24, 2013Food is delicious! Venture out of University Ave and explore this cute Italian restaurant.
Osso buco is great! And their salmon is always fine if you don't want veal.

Derik MSeptember 14, 2013Terrible food, poor service, and misleading description of their dining room. DO NOT BOOK THEIR WINE ROOM, AS THEY WILL LOCK YOU INTO A SET GRATUITY, AND SERVICE WILL BE POOR SINCE TIP IS GAURANTEED!
