Description




The menu covers both Northern and Southern Italian classics like pasta, veal, and seafood, with options accommodating various dietary needs. The space is a frequent hub for local catering and birthday parties, which often take over the dining room in multiples. While the clean, quiet room features a full bar, a background soundtrack, and a value-driven lunch special, some diners caution against the wine by the glass. It is the definition of a neighborhood institution—even the current owner started here years ago as a kid working as a busser.
