Cute place with amazing food! Only downside was that service felt very fast paced. We sat down, ate and received the check all within 40 minutes. We were not given time to appreciate the ambience. Felt rushed to place order and food arrived extremely fast (good for those that want fast food delivery timing).

This restaurant is an absolute GEM. From the moment you walk in you are treated like a welcome guest. The staff is attentive without being intrusive. The food is phenomenal. Pastas are homemade and cooked to perfection, my body does not tolerate too much garlic, I request no garlic and they make certain my dish is served without garlic. I prefer a side of pasta instead of mashed potato with my chicken piccata, NO PROBLEM is always the answer. The owner, Farouk, stops by your table to make certain your meal is perfect and your experience is great. I can't say enough good things about this wonderful spot. Treat yourself often!
