Best Casual Restaurants in College Area

We came in last night and had a wonderful experience. Our server was Alessandra and she was just amazing. First off the place is so cute & trendy, I love what they did with the space. We started our meal with the fritto misto (mixed calamari & veggies), fungo ripieno (mushroom w artichoke, red sauce & polenta) which was my personal favorite (the polenta was to die for) and the crispy burrata. We ate everything and left no crumbs ! Then we went on to our main courses. We ordered the fettuccine tartufo (mushroom & truffle - our tables favorite), spicy vodka pasta, ragu Della Nonna (red sauce with meat), and the parmigiana Milanese (eggplant Parmesan). Everything was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfect & al dente, we ate what we could & took the rest home! Then came dessert. It was my father’s birthday and they offered us a dessert of our choice, Alessandra recommended the fresh made table side tiramisu -good choice. Flavors were so well balanced. We also ordered the cannoli and was one of my favorite cannolis ever! Needless to say we will be coming back again! Thank you for the great dinner.

Great lunch w a friend that I haven’t seen in years! We were allowed a leisurely unhurried delicious lunch.

The staff are friendly and attentive, the food is of exceptional quality, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. Having tried the Ossobuco, Ravioli di Pesce, Pasta Pistacchiosa, and Arancini, I recommend them all.

Food was amazing wait staff was nice no complaints just a very hot spot so expect it to be packed

Loved our evening here-absolutely fantastic cocktails and great vibes. Highly recommend
