Omar YacoubiSeptember 25, 2020The Penne Norma was quite beyond the norm: like eggplant parmesan, but elevated to a new art form—creamy, thinly sliced, meaty, al dente, and delish!
Shannon ZMay 12, 2014Pros: good food, nice patio when the weather permits, gluten free and vegetarian options. Cons: the price and horrible service.
ArpitaFebruary 24, 2013Food is delicious! Venture out of University Ave and explore this cute Italian restaurant.
Osso buco is great! And their salmon is always fine if you don't want veal.
Stefania PomponiMarch 29, 2010If you are in a group, order a couple pastas to share then order your main courses. Then you get the best of everything!
- Great place to sit outside in the spring/summer! Like dining on a piazza in Florence. Read more
Cornerstone CellarsJune 14, 2010Grab a bottle of 2006 Cornerstone Napa Cabernet with the Pappardelle e Polpettone, Won't be disappointed!
Derik MSeptember 14, 2013Terrible food, poor service, and misleading description of their dining room. DO NOT BOOK THEIR WINE ROOM, AS THEY WILL LOCK YOU INTO A SET GRATUITY, AND SERVICE WILL BE POOR SINCE TIP IS GAURANTEED!- Anna RavenscroftSeptember 11, 2009Sit outside near the fountain and the nekkid bronze statues. Enjoy the great Italian pasta.

"A typically Italian restaurant that has great food. I really loved the bread. It was fresh and had a nicely seasoned dip. You have to try this restaurant for yourself and don't forget to take a loo"

"The best coffee in this part of campus. Delicious focaccia, too!"

"The warm spinach salad is a no miss event. Perfectly wilted fresh leaves dressed in a Cabernet reduction dressing with generous pieces of incredible pancetta and tasty potato."
