3rd time coming. Always a great experience. My girlfriend loves the Rigatoni Vodka. The prosciutto appetizer is amazing. Decided to try the spagetti limone and it was a bit underwhelming, wouldn’t get again. We didn’t get it this time but the honey pepperoni pizza is amazing as well. Always a great ambiance and service is great. If you can get a reservation I would definitely recommend and we will be back. Thanks

Great dinner. The food and wine were sooooooo good and the wine was a great value. We got the artichoke, a zucchini pizza and two pastas. All were unreal. Our server was super attentive and not overbearing. We were originally seated near a door that was drafty and it was a cold night, I said something and we were immediately seated somewhere else that I wasn’t cold. Great service. Great restaurant. Will be back.

First time trying the Aba Happy hour food! The spreads sampler gave us a chance to try them all and the Crispy chicken had the perfect crispy skin and heat from the different peppers! Falafels and shrimp were really good. Carrot cake was overly spiced and a bit dry so going to skip that next time!
