    We came here on Valentine’s Day 2025, so they were serving a very select menu - a prix fixe menu, or a limited variation or their regular dinner menu. We ordered the spaghetti & meatballs and chicken parmigiana. Both were good, but the meatballs of the spaghetti & meatballs were surprisingly good, despite reviews on other sites saying they tasted like kitchen tap water. Maybe we came on a good day? We also shared a margherita pizza, which was also good. The dough had the desired yeasty, brick oven flavor and the sauce and cheese were quite tasty as well. Overall, the food was good. The prices were a bit steep, but you’re paying for the atmosphere too. Would definitely come again.
