    Homemade pasta,. We had the special of the day, beet ravioli, it was delicate complex and delicious. The Sicilian appetizer was also outstanding! My Italian dinner guest was happily impressed as well.

    It was our first time visiting the restaurant, and we will definitely be back. The food and wine was excellent. We sat at the bar and enjoyed chatting with both the owner and chef.
