Great service and the GM Emanuelle was super hospitable. My sister and I shared a bunch of good including the focaccia & mussels to start. We enjoyed the oil mixture that came with the bread for dipping and the sauce in the mussels dish was yummy. Loved the sauce in the bolognese. We enjoyed a bunch of desserts because we couldn’t decide on one. Espresso gelato, trio of chocolate chip cannolis & tiramisu. All delicious but the star of the show was the tiramisu. It is the best I’ve ever had. A giant portion that we couldn’t stop eating. The energy and vibe of this cute place is awesome. We’ll be back for sure.

I was really happy to have found this place. They were hosting a group of jazz performers from Milton Academy who were quite impressive. The place was packed, the servers were graceful, welcoming, and efficient, and the food hit the spot. We will be back again soon!
