    No Frills dive bar serving in the Spring Valley shopping strip. No dogs allowed (bummer). Lower end of social spectrum

    Helloooo! This place is amazing & so is their affiliate…read morecompany, its also a vibe! The service, ambiance, and community is present and welcoming. I recently fell in love with their charcuterie boards, I bought one for a Super Bowl party- delish great venue for a girls HH/Night (dinner) or a date Anywho, great spot, definitely recommend!

    My husband and I came here for our Valentine's date... technically the day *after* Valentine's, on…read morea rainy evening. Honestly, it felt like the restaurant was magically reserved just for us. Cozy, romantic, and straight out of an Italian dream The decor is unreal. Vintage and wildly creative in the best way. There's a cork ceiling feature in the center, floral wallpaper that feels like a European café, chalk drawings of famous Italian landmarks, glowing green glass bottle lights that double as art, and, wait for it, an actual old Vespa sitting proudly inside the restaurant. It's whimsical, nostalgic, and charming without trying too hard. My husband chose this spot specifically for their cheese wheel pasta, and WOW was that the right call. The cheese is imported straight from Italy, and Monday is their famous cheese wheel night (10/10 recommend). The pasta changes weekly, but ours came with sage and wild mushrooms and tasted like an elevated, sophisticated fettuccine Alfredo. Rich, creamy, aromatic, and indulgent without being heavy. It felt fancy in the best ways without being pretentious. I ordered the short rib gnocchi, and while I personally wished the gnocchi was a touch less al dente, the flavors absolutely delivered. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, deeply savory, and perfectly paired with the sauce. Great comfort food on a rainy night. And now... let's talk about the real star of the night: THE GARLIC BREAD. We ordered TWO because it was genuinely the best garlic bread we've ever had. Perfectly toasted on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, seasoned to absolute perfection. Surprise: it's drizzled with their house-made balsamic vinaigrette. I didn't know I needed balsamic on garlic bread until this moment in my life. I will never be the same. The service was just as delightful as the food. We drink a lot of water, and for funsies our waitress brought refills in different whimsical containers -- including a literal glass fish We were cracking up the whole time. Attentive, playful, and warm service that made the night feel special instead of rushed. This is officially one of our favorite Italian restaurants. We wished we lived closer, but even with an hour drive in the rain, it was 100% worth it. Romantic, cozy, creative, and absolutely delicious. Come hungry. Order the cheese wheel pasta. Or try any of their weekly specialty days. Do not skip the garlic bread. Trust me.
