A seemingly humble menu is carefully considered with homemade pastas, coal-fired pizzas, and daily “features” that will bring a smile to the most discerning grandmother’s face.**A NOTE FROM THE RESTAURANT**Reservations are not required.

We took my parents. They loved it. The food was delicious. The service was great. It was a little hard to have a conversation because it was so loud.
