The large, brightly lit dining room with green-and-white checkerboard tableclothed tables gives way to an open kitchen where diners can see meals being prepared. Shelves adorned with tomato cans, boxes of dried pasta and hanging copper pans give the room a homey feel, while one wall is dedicated to an Italian street scene mural. Chef Vitorio Moreno aims for an authentic Northern Italian menu. Pasta fagiole soup is nicely balanced with a bountiful helping of vegetables and beans. Wood-grilled pizzas have a satisfying crunch. The pear and parmesan ravioli in a pine nut and mascarpone cheese…

Amazing food! They actually make all their pasta and sauce from scratch! They are incredible and they are really cheap!
THe best thing about the restaurant is the shop on your way out.. They actually jar and sell the sauce that the make. its amazing but you have to cook it yourself - haha!
Definetly worth seeing and experiencing
- Pros: They sell their pasta and sauce to go
- Cons: You have to cook it

Date Night Place
by nolachitown at Citysearch
I was here this past Friday on a date, and while the overall ambience was nice - the "happy hour" crew was in full force (at 9 pm!) and a lot of 30 somethings that live in the area were belligerent and obnoxious. That is my only complaint, other than that - the food was wonderful, and the portions are huge!! It's a great place to go if you're a college student, and even if you're not, check it out.
- Pros: romantic, dimly lit, food portions are huge
- Cons: loud drunk people, TVs at bar are distracting,
