This is the the sister restaurant to Seven Hills. The menu is small, but everything sounded delish. I had the lasagnette. It was different from everyday lasagna, but amazing. Many layers of thin pasta with bolognese sauce and parmigiana cheese. My friends both had the spaghettiini. It has the perfect amount of spice. They have a good wine list. We shared budino for dessert and it was fabulous.
