We stay true to Italy's culinary standards to retain the natural freshness and flavors of our dishes, which makes us one of the ONLY restaurants in the US to never incorporate artificial flavorings, colorings, or preservatives, nor do we use corn syrups in any of our beverages. We take pride in guaranteeing that none of our offerings contain GMO fruits, vegetables, or processed seed oils. Our olive oil, frying oil, flour, and sauce are all imported from Italy, while our meat, seafood and produce are sourced locally. We strive to replicate the culinary experiences that we find when we visit the Amalfi Coast. Our hometown, Vico Equense, is referred to as the “Gateway to the Amalfi Coast” and the "Food Capital of Italy". Directly across from Monte Vesuvio, Vico is rich with the same soil as the San Marzano area. We aim to share the cherished memories cooking with Nonna. It was here that we learned the significance of the food we savor and endeavored to preserve her treasured

The restaurant is pretty and the area we dined in was cozy. The food was delicious and our server was attentive without being overbearing. I made the reservations through OpenTable and the server took the time to read my diet preferences. She knew I am a pescatarian and made recommendations on the specials that I would enjoy. There even was a surprise visit from Santa!! We will definitely be going back.

They didn’t pack all of our food to go and didn’t realize it until I got home. Other than that, everything was amazing as always.

What s fantastic night! First: we were running late, I called and they changed our reservation no problem. Second: we asked to move tables TWICE and they moved us with smiles no problem. We ordered oysters to begin-wow were they delicious. Our craft cocktails were outstanding. We enjoyed our meal and lengthy conversation. After dinner we moved to the bar area to enjoy the band and more cocktails along side a beautiful crowd of friendly faces, the crowd was dressed trendy and fashionable. Loved the atmosphere and hospitality. A++ experience.
