This is one of our favorite local restaurants and for good reason. The food is consistently excellent and everyone involved is friendly and makes you feel like a valued guest. The homemade pasta is exceptional, the eggplant is uniquely delicious — no need to go on. We’ve been here many times and are always eager to return. Outstanding on all counts.
