    The Mozzarella appetizer, ravioli and gnocchi were outstanding! The chocolate cake and cappuccino were the perfect ending!

    Great food, small portions. Wish they gave more. Pasta was absolutely delicious - mushroom lasagne & ravioli were incredible! Unfortunately ran out of Limencello for one of their speciality drinks.
