From the outside, this restaurant looks small and fairly modest, but the moment you walk in it feels like stepping into a different world. The interior is cozy and thoughtfully decorated with charming details that make you feel like you’re dining in a historic restaurant in a small Italian town. The highlight of my visit was the Branzino. It was absolutely fantastic—perfectly cooked, moist, and tender. The fish is quite large, but the flavor is so good that you never get tired of it. The pasta served with it pairs beautifully with the dish. The calamari and wine recommended by our server were also excellent. Our server initially seemed a bit serious, but turned out to be very friendly and funny, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant can get quite busy, especially on weekends, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. Definitely a place worth visiting!

Wonderful Italian restaurant! Felt more like a family affair versus the typical "clinical" chain restaurant experience. Delicious food, good conversation and great suggestions for wine based on your tastes. As a long time lover of authentic Italian food, this is certainly in my top three if not my top pick. Reservations are required, so ensure you make one before visiting. Highly recommended!

I have enjoyed each and every time I have visited. I have had a few dishes off the menu and they have been mouthwatering delights. Everything is fresh and they bring cheese and pepper to grind at the table. Very accommodating for a small to med size group. Staff is very responsive my bread nor my water glass were never empty. The owner is a very nice gentleman and has a lot of restaurant experience, remembered my name and what I usually drink. Parking is ok, so give yourself a few minutes to get a good spot. The place is decorated in a vintage and reminds me of the places in the Bronx. Handicap seating is available and I would encourage making a reservation. Quiet place for lunch or dinner. Enjoy !!!

We made reservations on it Thursday to celebrate a birthday dinner. The food was great the service was very nice the place was crowded so glad we did make the reservation. Some of the best lasagna I've had and the carbonara my goodness. I'm a big fan of creme brulee and they did not disappoint. Will be back again.

The portions were large and the food was good. The price point for the food was a bit high for the quality but the service was prompt. The day was nice and sunny and favoured the outdoor seating. Options were plentiful for all dietary requirements. It's a good place for a family get together or catching up with friends casually.
