Any of the home made pasts are always amazing. Great lunch limited choices but, never a problem because we have enjoyed everything.- DesireeNovember 20, 2015Very cute restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Local beer was great. Cannelloni and gnocchi with Gorgonzola sauce were amazing. To top it off the chocolate ganache cake was to die for.
