    We recommend the sage focaccia with prosciutto & the creamiest buratta cheese, & obviously the pillow pasta with the most delicious pesto.

    We a had a wonderful dinner before attending a show. Our waiter Sean was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was delicious from our antipasto platter, cocktails, pasta dishes and crème brûlée with biscotti. I had the pasta with mushrooms and I would definitely order it again. Homemade biscotti was to die for! Looking forward to returning.
