    Had such an amazing dinner. We tried the chicken parm, the rigatoni, gnocchi, and aranci ti start. Everything was so tasty. Gnocchi was amazing and cheesy. The meat sauce in the rigatoni was delicious too. Overall great value for the drinks and food we had, plus the restaurant is quaint, yet lively. Deserts looked amazing too. Would highly recommend and go back!

    Food was incredible. might be the best thai we’ve had in the city - beef pad see ew, eggplant, and duck curry were highlights. (Not a place for a long dinner - food comes quickly, which is great, but while staff are very nice about it, they want to get you in and out and under an hour)
