    This may become our go to place for Italian cuisine. Two family members ventured from the city to the burbs and absolutely loved everything. Generous portions of great food and outstanding service. The motor scooter in the entrance is really charming.

    As an Italian this is one of the very few Italian restaurants I trust with my favorites! My veal piccata was delicious and the burrata and bruschetta appetizers were perfect. I can’t wait to come back this summer for stuffed squash blossoms! Thanks for being delicious as always!

    We always have a wonderful experience dining here but the server must have had an off night. We were told repeatedly our bread was being heated up yet tables sat after us were getting bread and their meals. - A table that was sat after us was already finishing their dessert and ready to leave before we even got our main dishes. Had to ask the server repeatedly to refill our drinks. She took ages to take our order. We sat for nearly an hour and a half for an appetizer and soup. We waited nearly 40 minutes for our main dishes and the dish I was served was not what I ordered. I think she forgot to put in our order or release it and then she entered the wrong order. We were told it would another 6 minutes for the Risotto so we decided to end our meal instead of waiting for our dinner. The manager took off the Risotto from our bill and packed up Hubbie's dinner along with the mis-ordered item and a Tiramisu to-go. Hoping next time will be better as is normally is.
