What a great place. I have been here 4 times since the summer of 2021 and it has never even come close to disappointing. But the evening of March 29th made me really love this place. I had a reservation for 10 people for 6:15 which they accommodated in such a pleasant way even after we changed the date and the number of guests a week before. I was concerned that they might be upset when most of my party were late but nope. They were great about it. Seated us in a cozy almost private area. Our waiter (I wish I had gotten his name) was awesome. He let me know that another group needed the space at 8:45 in a friendly super professional way. (And my apologies for vacating the space 5 minutes late. We were enjoying our time together there so much). Of course the food was great. I wouldn’t return so many times if it wasn’t. Just such an all around great experience. Thank you to the entire staff. See you again soon.

Best off the beat home made authentic Italian restaurant. A great gem and must visit if you want chill family style - like Momma is in the kitchen.

Home made pastas and gnocchi, excellent salads, desserts really everything was wonderful. Highly recommend for anyone wanting fresh and authentic but also interesting dishes. My faves: carrots arugula salad, eggplant, gnocchi. Enjoy!

Tremendous vibes. Loved the ribollina soup.Vegetarian options: Not always obvious that a dish has meat in it or not--would recommend asking, the strisca alla chiantigiana didn't seem to note that it has meat and turns out it did (I think?). Plenty of other options, though
Such a good service!!!!They figured I didn’t like my pasta just by my facial expression and came to the table to check in. I don’t eat pork, and there was pork cheek in my pasta. And as soon as I tasted it, I got confused. I didn’t read the menu good enough.So the server said, “no this pasta isn’t it for you” with a kind tone and asked me what I would like to have instead. I got a replacement quickly after.My colleagues and I were pleasantly surprised.The interior is so cosy, the food is tasty!!The eggplant starter was SO good, and I liked the tagliatelle the most

Amazing food and service. The octopus was very tender, the pasta was homemade and delicious. The atmosphere could be improved by getting rid of the cables and the closet for the lights next to one of the tables, but if you are looking for great food and service, go here .
