- Matt ClaneyJanuary 5, 2014The food was delicious and they had a very large selection of wines. Michelle our server was very nice too! A little pricy, though it's not too much for just a nice dinner. Good atmosphere!Upvoted Oct 3
Erica MuellerApril 12, 2014Amazing food, atmosphere, and staff... We will definitely be back! The Diavola pizza was perfect:) And don't forget to end the night with Limoncello!
Mridula RayanaSeptember 30, 2015Best place for vegetarian Italian food! Some really fresh cheesy antipasto and very tasty pizzA and a good selection of wines, beers and cocktails.
hat gooey antipasta burrata cheese that they sometimes have on special is terrific! Order it bc they'll run out! Also, the calzone was large and very delicious - perfect two dishes to share- Ask for Mark B. to be your server. Best one there. The Italiano Panini is great for lunch. The Prosciutto & Arugula pizza is phenomenal. Pair it all with wine or an Italian beer and life is good.
Anthony RoscoeFebruary 1, 2014The pizza is really wonderful. The dough making it just such a great experience. Chewy with just the right amount of crispness from the wood fire oven.
Lynne FigginsMarch 5, 2015Just learned about the happy hour wine special = great deal! Love the sauteed calamari arrabiatta, must order it as a special preparation = yum, yum, yum!
RL Hollowell-BoldingMay 23, 2014Great spot. Great food. The wedding soup... OMG! Great service: ask to be served by Spencer, he's great and great to look at too :-)

Hillel GlazerOctober 5, 2013Check the basement. I think they've got three Italian grandmothers living down there. Yes. That good.
Jamie BurkeNovember 29, 2017Service was outstanding, rigatoni was undercooked, large portions on the pasta dishes
