    I am retired and live at my home just north of Roma 🇮🇹 9 months of the year. The food here is both extremely delicious it is extremely authentic Italian. Yes they do have veal And chicken parmigiana both are good even though you won’t find it anywhere in Italy …. I. Like to try the real Italian trattoria dishes …. Pasta Carbonara, vela saltimbocca ala romana, the octopus dishes (normally a special of the day) amazing…. BTW the bread and pizza dough is fresh made in the restaurant…. Yes there is a small pizza menu too. The wine list is small but very good and excellent prices…. The service is friendly and responsive…. … You will really enjoy to dinner!

    First time and I wish I could have been there much sooner. Had a table of five people two of the five had pizza and 3 of us had antipasto, primi (pasta) and/or entrees, Each item was expertly and authentically prepared. A family operation where quality and service are a priority. I live in Italy 6 to 8 months of the year and this is REAL Italian food. With a few American dishes. For example the grilled octopus special was perfectly prepared and authenticity presented I thought I was back in Roma. The veal parmigiana which cannot be found in Italy non the less is some of the best I have had anywhere in the USA. The wine list is small but was excellent value and something for all tastes and budget
