This was hands down, one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had. The waitress who sang to me for my birthday was gorgeous, friendly, and kind. I wish I had the money to give her a larger tip, but I've vowed to go back and consistently bring people. I am so happy the owner took the risk to open this during COVID-19—superb black and brown space. As a writer and artist, I felt deeply inspired after leaving. It felt like home.

We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, Tartufata, and Margherita Pizza, and each dish was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Also, Nutella calzone was so tasty. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant experience. The outdoor seating is a standout feature, offering a cozy and charming ambiance, especially during the Christmas season with all the festive decorations. It's a great spot to enjoy a meal while soaking in the holiday spirit. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the atmosphere!
