"I love this little place: excellent food (you HAVE to try their mouthwatering ossobuco . The menu displays a great selection of classic, authentic italian dishes with few concessions to the American taste (New York strip, I'm looking at you... . Everything is cooked from scratch, and the food is delicious: for starters we had the calamari, tender, tasty, with a nicely balanced tartar sauce and a lightly spicy marinara sauce, and the grilled octopus (the best I've ever tasted in the US , cooked to perfection and served on sautéed garlic spinach and sweet potato purée. The mixed green salad was delicious, with just enough dressing to light up the fresh, radish-y, crunchiness without drowning them or overpowering their flavor. The ossobuco on saffron risotto is as good as it can get and certainly on par with what you'd find in a top restaurant in Italy. And leave some space for the desserts! Our tiramisu was just perfect. The service is excellent: Laura, our server, was fantastic: attentive, friendly and always present. We'll be back, there is still a lot to be discovered in their menu!"

The whole experience was amazing. The staff and food was awesome! Our server Raul was outstanding. We got to meet the owner and he was pretty awesome as well. One of my best dining experiences ever.

Stop by here for a quick snack/bite and we got their scallop appetizer. It was so amazing, I was just blown away by the flavors mixed together. Their mushroom sauce complemented the corn and cabbage so well.

I typically order the fish dishes here, despite the restaurant's specialization in meat. Everything was expertly prepared. The lobster risotto and calamari were outstanding! It’s also wonderful to sit outside and watch the people passing by. View menu

Had the ossobuco. Outstanding. But it takes a long time to cook. 25 minutes became 45, and then 55. If you have the time, it's a great dish. Server wasn't around much the first half hour but then was very attentive and apologetic. We left quite full.

Charming Italian restaurant featuring both a covered patio and indoor seating. The pasta was fantastic! We tried a variety of dishes, starting with roasted beets and goat cheese as an appetizer. For the main courses, we had the lobster risotto, mushroom gnocchi, and duck pasta. It's tough to pick a favorite among them!

I had a very enjoyable experience overall. The servers were friendly and attentive, although it seemed like they might not have received complete training—for example, they removed plates even when not everyone at the table had finished. The food was quite good, more authentic compared to what you typically find at average “Italian” restaurants. However, we felt that the prices were a bit on the higher side. View menu

Outdoor dined here on a Saturday night, excellent atmosphere with the surrounding restaurants all bustling. Food and service were top notch. We ordered the grilled Octopus appetizer, veal ossobuco, and seafood fettuccine. Octopus was perfectly cooked and accentuated by a unique carrot purée. We knew we had to get the ossobuco and this was the star of the show as expected! A huge portion size of an entire veal shank. I?d recommend splitting this between 2-4 people.
