Once a quaint two-bedroom home, the restaurant was transformed but still keeps the rustic, home-like feel for an inviting, welcoming atmosphere. The pleasing combination of intimate lighting and natural window light make it the ideal spot for either lunch or dinner. A top menu choice is the boscaiola, which features a creamy tomato and Bolognese sauce over rigatoni pasta, topped with various spices and forest mushrooms.

    Daniel did a great job serving us. The restaurant was about half filled when we sat down. It was full before we left. Seating is pretty cozy so that's my only knock, but conversations were not strained or anything so we were easily able to converse. Started off with a carafe of the house white (pinot grigio) which was quite good. I ordered the special Sacchetti. It was AMAZING! It's like a puffy ravioli. It's got 2-3 times as much filling as your standard ravioli. This version had a mushroom filling, almost like a pate. It had a crunchy something sprinkled over the top. Forget what it was. :( My wife had their lasagna. Huge portion and oh so good! Easily twice as much food as the sacchetti dish, but the sacchetti was special. Finished with an eggnog creme brulee. A little heavier tasting than regular creme brulee but still very good.
