    First time and I wish I could have been there much sooner. Had a table of five people two of the five had pizza and 3 of us had antipasto, primi (pasta) and/or entrees, Each item was expertly and authentically prepared. A family operation where quality and service are a priority. I live in Italy 6 to 8 months of the year and this is REAL Italian food. With a few American dishes. For example the grilled octopus special was perfectly prepared and authenticity presented I thought I was back in Roma. The veal parmigiana which cannot be found in Italy non the less is some of the best I have had anywhere in the USA. The wine list is small but was excellent value and something for all tastes and budget

    Limited menu selections. Some of our party wanted pizza but was told they don’t serve it on weekends. Too bad it didn’t state that on their website or menu. The Caesar salad was excellent as was the homemade bread. The entrees were average but not great. Based on the reviews I read, I was expecting more.

    Staff never check how the food go! Either good or not , hot or cold. ( lukewarm) Overwhelm serviced too much to handle for two staff in the dining room . Literally just sat you take your order drop the food and pay the bill that’s it!

    The restaurant itself was quaint. The food was above average. However, the service was rushed. Perhaps due to being understaffed. Unfortunately, this made myself and family feel uncomfortable, as if we needed to hurry so they could “turn the table over”. Overall it was a mediocre experience. I would recommend trying another Italian spot nearby.
