    First off, you need to order the mussels, because they are just like Nonna made them. The marinara mussels are going to make you ask for more bread, you’ll want to soak up all the sauce (don’t say I didn’t warn you) I ordered the salmon, it was delicious, my wife ordered the chicken parm and couldn’t finished it, it was great and now I have lunch for today. Didn’t have any room but we decided on double espressos and tiramisu, somehow there was room for it! If you can, ask for Stefanos he’s an amazing server and a great guy! I spoke Italian to him throughout the entire dinner and then found out he’s Greek and just happens to know Italian among many other languages. Talented guy right here! Very attentive and it was a pleasure to share limoncello shots at the end. You gotta eat here!
