    Terrific as always. Fresh pastas and wonderful cream sauce, what could be better. The fried artichokes, with a very light batter. If you are there to chat and catch up it can be a bit of a challenge, but otherwise our fav Italian restaurant in the neighborhood!

    Very cozy, small spot featuring delicious home made pasta and focaccia offerings. Food and wine prices are reasonable. Service is a bit slow as they had limited staff. Definitely recommend.
