What a hidden gem. Ate here about a year ago and kept meaning to come back. The food quality for the price point is crazy. The pasta b was so fresh and creamy. The ice cream was the same. Service matched. So hard to find good service let alone great.

We had great meals, chicken fettuccine alla pesto for me. Great coffee as well. Great meal and service and walking distance to the train station.

Love coming here for breakfast..I always get the benedicts but my partner gets the powdered toast thing. I don't remember what it's called. But the servers here are always lovely, the food is delicious, and it's a nice calm place to sit and have a Delicious breakfast. One of my fav "hidden" gems in the Pearl.

Possibly, the most authentic and delicious Italian food I have had since I was stationed there. The Lamb Bistecca was prepared perfectly, and the lamb practically melts in your mouth. The executive chef tonight may be younger, but has these dishes nailed! My kudos to the chef and his team for a perfect meal and date night!

The food was beautiful to look at and wonderful to eat. My 90-year-old mother was delighted, as well. We spoke with the "new" chef and gave him our gratitude. Sweet and cozy spot!

Seemed like it would be a great place to go for a nice dinner. The staff was friendly enough but for an Italian place they don't know how to cook pasta. Both my wife and my sons pasta dishes were overdone. What they call a risotto does not use traditional risotto rice although it was pretty much okay as a dish. Sure wish this place was better at cooking food because they have some pretty inventive dishes.
Lovely local Tratoria. Just beer and wine so no favorite Margaritas. Basic Italian fare that was satisfying but under whelming. Expected a little more. Will try them again

Came here for lunch at noon on a wednesday, was pleasantly greeted with a cute little restaurant and peaceful ambience. We ordered first the bruschetta, which was fantastic and good sized. For the mains, I ordered a spaghetti bolognese, in addition to spaghetti with meatballs and a tuscan sandwich with a caesar salad. I was a bit disappointed with my bolognese, it was a bit too sweet and creamy for my liking and i was unable to finish it. The spaghetti with meatballs seemed good when i tried it, though. The sandwich with the caesar was alright, but the salad overwhelmingly too fishy and anchovy-y and i could barely eat it. After finishing, my partner got a scoop of the gelato, but was disappointed to see a hair in it halfway through. Combined with some slightly dirty plates and utensils we got when we first arrived, I can’t ignore possible concerns over cleanliness issues. overall, the food was pretty hit or miss; the service was great, but some little things here and there contributed to a mixed experience.

Boring. Nothing wrong with any of the food, it's just there were no spices in it. I had the spaghetti bolognese with meatballs. The spaghetti and sauce with lots of meat in it were tossed together with chunks of fresh tomato. Real potential but no spices, totally bland. The meatballs also had no spices in them and very little if any filler. I have had hamburgers with more flavor. The bread was even worse. It was about half a slice of cheap grocery store white bread. Not even buttered and barely toasted. As flavorless as you can get. Borrrrrring.On a positive note, the atmosphere of the place was great with an artificial tree and courtyard setting. Very nicely done.
