Loved the focus on regional Italian food. The mozzarella was fresh and the pasta true to authentic ingredients. My pasta carbonara was packed with savory goodness without adding unnecessary ingredients. Festive and loud atmosphere.

This was truly one of the best meals I have ever had. We did the Chef’s Tasting menu and it was FANTASTIC! Each course somehow got better than the last. The Chef explained each dish to us, and was incredibly kind. I am always on the hunt for new restaurants and rarely frequent the same place twice, but I will definitely be back. This is without a doubt the best authentic Italian food I have had in the city.

A beautiful small venue and incredible attentive staff that made us feel comfortable and explained foods we weren’t familiar with. And the owner was amazing and kind for my girlfriend and I’s anniversary dinner. They really made our night ❤️

We were seated promptly; service and food were great! Only possible complaint was per the 3 fried panzerotti for an appetizer we ordered which were good but given to us right away and still too hot in temperature that it burned our mouth.
The pastas, pizza, dessert thereafter was all wonderful. Restaurant is on the small side; but has a great deal of charm and wonderful friendly staff. We would definitely go back again.

Fantastic spot for quality, fresh Italian food in a really well designed space. The Burrata is particularly tasty!Having a painting of Napoli-era Maradona is added bonus.
