Description



Meals here balance classic Italian dishes with playful twists, like a chicken Parmesan pizza and the rich Spicy Lobster Rigatoni Alla Vodka. The kitchen demonstrates precise noodle texture in the pesto mafaldine with sweet sausage, though execution can occasionally waiver—the tender meatballs have been noted for an oversalted sauce. For a mid-day visit, lunch options include calamari and pasta topped with fresh shaved truffles. Pulling up a stool at the bar offers a warmer, more conversational experience, driven by an exceptionally friendly staff.
