The marinara mussels are going to make you ask for more bread, you’ll want to soak up all the sauce (don’t say I didn’t warn you) I ordered the salmon, it was delicious, my wife ordered the chicken parm and couldn’t finished it, it was great and now I have lunch for today. Didn’t have any room but we decided on double espressos and tiramisu, somehow there was room for it! If you can, ask for Stefanos he’s an amazing server and a great guy! I spoke Italian to him throughout the entire dinner and then found out he’s Greek and just happens to know Italian among many other languages. Talented guy right here! Very attentive and it was a pleasure to share limoncello shots at the end. You gotta eat here!

The SALUMI E FORMAGGI and ZUCCHINI FRITTI were decent starters, nice selection and great taste. The mains were 50/50 the BURRATA SALAD w/chicken was underwhelming, the use of cherry tomatoes instead of heirloom was a disappointment. Added the chicken breast and it was overcooked and exceptionally salty. The SPAGHETTI CARBONARA and LASAGNA and QUATTRO FORMAGGIO PIZZA were excellent - generous portions and very tasty. Service was on point and not excessive. Overall a little pricey for the menu. A solid 4/5 rating.

Excellent, knowlegeable service and a relaxed serving pace added to our enjoyment. Unfotunately, the food quality was uneven. The seafood/pasta dish was excellent while the more traditional Italian dishes were deemed "average". The spaghetti sauce was blunt and reminded the guest of sauces served at inferior establishments. Same with the veal parmigian - the sauce overwhelmed the veal, rendering it tasteless. There is a nice selection of appetizers - escargots, deep fried zucchini, etc. - which were enjoyed by all.

Ambiance was fine but the waiter serving our table was unpleasant. The restaurant was not busy, we had a reservation, yet the waiter seemed rushed/rushed us.
