    This is my 4th time dining at l’anima. The potato gnocchi and the French fries were delish while the others fell short- Cacio e pepe was SO peppery we could not eat.

    We had a lovely dinner for girls’ night out! Our server was wonderful, the menu was fantastic, filled with variety but not “too much” and the food was delicious! We will certainly be back!

    Fresh pasta cooked perfectly, seasonal special sounded great although we didn’t end up ordering, reasonable prices and nice waitstaff! Looking forward to returning in the warmer weather and sitting outside.

    Consistently high quality food and service at this neighborhood gem. Thank goodness the food trendies haven't discovered this place because it is relatively easy to get a table. It's sister restaurant, Melograno, is equally as good but more well known.
