Great neighborhood restaurant. The atmosphere was very conducive to gathering friends for a great meal. Really enjoyed all the appetizers we ordered, especially the rice balls. The entrees were good. The service was very good and attentive to the table.

This is my 4th time dining at l’anima. The potato gnocchi and the French fries were delish while the others fell short- Cacio e pepe was SO peppery we could not eat.
