Time never seems to touch this Italian gem. Seek out the serene alfresco patio on summer days an return often (they have a good loyalty program).

Yum! The chef always makes my pancetta chunks extra big on the salad, and I really appreciate it. I sometimes crave the food from your restaurant. Thanks for being amazing!

Delicious eggplant parmesan. Great apple tart and bruschetta. My mouth still waters just thinking about it! Good service too!

The Christmas atmosphere was very festive, so the evening felt special. Our server was well informed about the choices, and presented the daily specials in a mouth-watering way. The plates were warm, the food was delicious, and the portions were generous. I sampled the fish of the day, and it was well prepared and tasty. The Godiva chocolate martini was a perfect dessert. My husband had the rotulo, as he always does, and it never disappoints. Very pleasant experience!

Excellent Northern Italian cuisine in this friendly, smart old town restaurant. Although guests' attire can be as casual as shorts and denim and as formal as suits and dresses, the atmosphere is welcoming and pleasant for all. Hand-made pasta is toothsome, and seafood is fresh. Meat courses are thoroughly professional. Nice range of appetizers can be ordered as a full meal, and the wine selections are excellent.

Cozy restaurant with nice service serving up large portions of pasta. Penne al Russo was the delight of the night with moist bits of salmon throughout. The scallop dish was also delicious.
