Very cozy Italian spot. Got the cavatelli alla barese. Not a common option but very well done. The service was attentive but not intrusive and overall made for a great experience for a celebration.

We decided to sit outside as the evening was beautiful. People next to us were very loud and rowdy-inconsiderate. Food was very good. Duck was a bit rare which I did not like or order, but was lean and tender. My date ordered a shrimp dinner that was very good. Waiter was a bit busy/ un attentive, and not particularly friendly. First place that had great, steaming hot coffee and very good tea. I would recommend this place.
