EaterJanuary 3, 2014This NY transplant serves well executed Italian-Amnerican classics in a charming, perfectly sized dining room in a part of Hollywood that might best be described as "the middle of nowhere."

Natalie BubaloSeptember 20, 2013The most friendly, welcoming staff of all time. The meatballs were light and amazing, and the ravioli with pear was unlike anything I've ever had.
Nancy StroudJuly 17, 2016Everything we had was delicious. The short ribs and cheesecake were my favorite
Alvarez LlopisOctober 21, 2022The duck was to die for. Shrimp scampi was light and full of flavor. Highly recommended for a couple from Fort Worth, Texas.
Sunday - Gravy night! Meatballs, Sausage, Braciole, rigatoni... Literally just like mom used to make.
RandyJanuary 24, 2016Always gr8 but something was a little off with the sauce and it is not the same when Johnny Roast Beef is not there...

"Get the calzone, it's full of flavor and not overly cheesy, and the Nero pasta. Sit at the bar or family table without a reservation!"

"Pastas are great here, but let's talk cheese selection! 30 cheese from soft to blue cheese to hard cheese for $6-8 each and you can make your own cheese plate with figs, honey, walnut bread and more."
Rachel K - 9.3
"Chicken liver crostini was delish. I never liked chicken liver until I tried this dish. Cavatelli alla Norcina, drool!"
