I've been eager to try this place since it opened just a few blocks away, and it did not disappoint! I had the Rigatoni Con Salsiccia, and it was absolutely delicious—I can't wait to have it again. The upstairs seating was cozy and perfect for conversation, while downstairs was a bit louder and more crowded. The service was good, though not quite excellent. On the plus side, parking in the nearby cinema garage is only 75¢ an hour, which is a great deal. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely be back!

This place is amazing! Weekends are great because you can choose from their delicious brunch options or their regular menu which has just as many delish options. Their juices are so fresh, the empanadas are heavenly—everything we ate was amazing! So worth the trip and will be back often!
