    Its an absolutely delightful place for dinner. They do not take any reservations and you would have a minimum wait time of 30 minutes so be prepared. The food was amazing. Must try the tiramisu

    The Zucca (butternut squash) pizza was absolutely delicious. Unlike any artisanal pizza I've ever tried. Also try their authentic gelati- rich, creamy and so tasty!

    Their meatballs are a MUST try. I love their broccoli rabe and sausage pizza. Mozz and tomato salad is good and good for two to share as an app. Please try the Mama Nonna cookies the owner bakes daily

    You can't go wrong with any of the salads. Insalata di pollo is my favorite. Paired with a nice glass of 🍷 (they offer a nice wine selection) or an Aperol spritzer. 🍹

    What's good here? - everything! Love this place... Seen it grow from small BYOB place to now. Family run, small menu and the pizzas are great. Minestrone soup is hearty and yum.

    If you are veggie, try the fusilli al la pesto. If you like seafood, shrimp tagliolini is a must have !! Finally, do yourself a favor and have their tiramisu :)

    Best Italian in downtown JC! Great wine list and the pizza is amazing, the dough is TO DIE! I recommend the butternut squash pizza if you're adventurous!

    This place is amazing! I love almost everything on their menu.. Their pesto pasta with egg noodles is probably my favorite! Just the right amount of basil and cheese! So great!

    Imagine you had an Italian grandmother and every time you went to visit her, she served up an incredibly delicious homemade tiramisu. That's exactly what it's like so make sure to save room!

    Such gracious service. Wine is generous mini carafe. Homemade pasta delish and outdoor seating is perfect on a summer's night.

    Tasty Italian dishes and warm service can be found here. The Rigatoni Bolognese is a hearty entree, so skip the meatballs if necessary.

    Not sure what to get?? Ask for the Gramigna. Comes with fennel pork sausage in a rosemary cream sauce. You can thank me later!

    I've never been disappointed with a meal here. The pizza is great but I think the real star of the menu is their homemade egg noodle pasta specials.

    We went for brunch, and I would definitely recommend it! The brunch pizza (basically pizza with egg on it) is great.

    Great food, but their bartenders make awesome drinks. Nice alternative if the other local joints are crowded.

    Butternut squash pizza is my new fave pie, delicious and sweet!!! Meatballs were great as usual. But the pasta underwhelmed, again.

    Super-friendly atmosphere, great drinks, and crazy-good meatballs. Some inventive pizzas as well, but competition in JC is stiff!

    Zucchini pizza is very good and the Cacio e Pepe fettuccine is yum. Share one of each and then get the tiramisu.

    Without question try the quattro fromaggi pizza. It's delicious and the Asiago gives it a sharp, salty bite.

    French toast is awesome. Fair warning it can get uncomfortably loud inside. Music is too loud, every surface is hard, and the server station is in the dining room.
