    The spaghetti here is amazing. Homemade, fresh pasta, and the best sauce I have ever had (& I'm Italian). Pricey with small portions (don't come too hungry), but you will get a delicious meal!

    Adorable neighborhood spot! Pop in for drinks at the bar and try the brussel sprout salad. David the bartender is awesome - let him keep the wine coming!

    The Ricotta Strascinari, braised duck leg, smoked scamorza is the best dish on the menu. In the hot months for desert they serve homemade lemon sorbet (not on the menu) before desert! Read more

    I dare anyone to sit at the "Chef's Counter" where you can catch a glimpse of the date marked on the fruit marked from 3 months prior... We were lucky enough to see a visit from the health inspector!

    Awesome spot. All of the pasta is homemade and cooked al dente. Definitely try the pork chop. It's worth every penny.

    Went here for the "family style" NYE dinner with 8 friends. This was NOT family style. Sad small plates of salad, tapa sized steak pieces on sticks, one tiny piece of agnolotti per person... Ugh!

    Save room for dessert, because the Dark Chocolate-Caramel Crostata with Maldon Salt is as good as it sounds.
