    We made our reservation through the generosity of the owners who donated a gift certificate to a local fundraiser. Through open table I checked off that we would be celebrating our anniversary. From the moment we entered the restaurant and were greeted by the owner, we were treated with the utmost hospitality. Each member of the staff was professional and kind. We were told right away that their full menu would not be available due to the number of graduation dinner parties they were hosting. We would not have noticed the difference as the menu presented to us was full of delectable choices including some signature dishes. We started with appetizers of an eggplant rollatini and a shrimp cocktail. On the table were a marinated carrot dish with warmed bread and seasoned olive oil for dipping. We were asked if we would be sharing the dish and it came out plated separately so we didn’t have to do that ourselves. The eggplant was cooked perfectly with the right amount of seasonings in the sauce. My husband ordered the Zupa di pesce and I had the wild mushroom ravioli with braised beef. We both ended up with leftovers due to the generous and delicious portions. I asked for a wine pairing for my dish and it was perfect. For dessert we had cappuccinos that were prepared perfectly, we could smell the aroma before they were set before us. Our desserts were delectable. His cannoli was fresh and the filling just right in the amount of sweetness. I had a ricotta pear panacotta that was imported from Italy. It was such a treat that I am grateful for the waiter’s suggestion. This experience created such a beautiful memory for our Anniversary dinner that we will definitely be back for no other reason than to have a meal with great service and food!

    Overall this is a terrific little Italian resturant on Arthur Ave. Love the ambience and the food is superb. Only draw back for us being a party of 6 was the delay of food. Our reservations were at 2 and we were not served until 3. 2 other parties came in after us, a party of 2 and a party of 4. They both had their food before us. The waiter was very good but not sure why the delay.

    Honestly wanted to like this. No restaurants on Arthur Avenue are attractive…but aside from that, the food and wine were truly awful…Sadly, I have yet to find a good restaurant or bakery in the area…I guess it’s mostly a tourist site.
