    This is a husband and wife team. The husband is the chef and the wife runs the front of the house. The food is outstanding and very authentic. It is a place that is located next to Sonoma Market and is very humble looking. The staff is great and attentive without being overbearing. We have eaten here twice in the past two weeks. The Veal Scallopini is great and so are the pasta dishes. This last time we had the tortellini filled with mascarpone cheese. The tortellini were gigantic and incredible. We also had the profiteroles for dessert and they were filled with vanilla gelato - super yummy. We were told if we wanted something special like Oso Bucco that we should just call a week in advance and they would have it on the menu. I feel this is a place that most people overlook because of the location but you should make a beeline here. Only open Friday/Saturday and Sunday for dinner.
