    Keep the music soft - allow people to carry on conversations without having to fight the loudness of the music. Italian music is a must…don’t mix it too much.

    Amazing experience, Giovanni the manager himself tossed our cheese wheel pasta he was so nice and attentive. Everything we had was so good! Portions are very generous so come in hungry. They told us they have a great happy hour so we would definitely be back to try it.

    Everything was excellent! We had fiori di zucca (fried zucchini flowers) as a starter, and then artichoke ravioli and lasagna sugo romano for the mains. Both dishes were hot and delicious, and the service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back.

    Thank you, Randy! So glad you enjoyed including our Artichoke Ravioli and lasagna... two great choices!
