Description

Established in 1921 by Basilio Giovannini, the property evokes a countryside European dining experience. The grounds feature a vegetable garden and grape arbor, while the small, quiet dining room captures the warmth of a Sunday dinner at a grandparents' house. The owner often visits tables to share stories of Italy and recommend dishes. The menu features hand-crafted pastas like gnocchi al forno and linguine bolognese alongside thick-cut fried zucchini, all delivered with attentive, familiar hospitality.
