While pizza and pasta are just the tip of the Italian iceberg, there is a reason these two culinary staples are the most beloved exports from Italy. Enjoy our seasonal selection just steps away from where our expert pasta chefs and dough-slinging pizzaioli (pizza makers) create dishes before your eyes.

Food is amazing. Vibe is chill. Best 90's hip hop music. Wait staff was anttentive and courteous. There is always a wait even with a reservation because no one wants to leave! So just keep in mind - don't go there in a rush!

It's a lovely place, food is great, owners are very friendly and welcoming. Only negative feedback I have is they charge a credit card processing fee if not paying cash. I worked at American Express for 20 years, so I'm sensitive to additional fees being assessed when venues benefit greatly from accepting credit cards to increase their business. But otherwise, everything is great here.
