We had Alberto as our server, he was very attentive, kind, patient, and ready with recommendations when I was having trouble deciding what to order. I had the Short Rib Ravioli, which was amazing. And my girlfriend got the Pesto Gnocci which she also enjoyed. Overall a great experience. My only comment was that there wasn’t a lot of room, so we were sandwiched pretty tight in between a couple other 2 tops.

I think the meatballs were very clearly not freshly made. The pasta did seem freshly made on the other hand, thought the ravioli filling lacked flavor.

Wonderful little venue with polite staff. The focaccia was fresh and the accompanying prosciutto was melt in your mouth flavorful. We shared the Bosciaola with a wonderful white sauce and sausage. The wine is reasonably priced and the Calabrian gelato is outstanding. The tables are close it this is just simple house made pasta served with care.
