I'm italian and make alot of homemade dishes so I can be particular about pasta. We had a lovely dinner. The ambiance is perfect and the food delicious! They took the Covid restrictions very seriously and because I had a US card it was a bit of a challenge to prove I was vaccinated but was done all very politely. The three of us had fabulous meals. It took a bit long to get our entrées but they were busy and it was a Friday night. We did get a bread basket but rather late so I'm not sure if that's a standard to get a bread basket or it was because our entrées were late. We met the owner and his wife both very friendly and delightful people. Our server was great. I wanted to surprise my boyfriend and his daughter and pay for dinner so the server took care of that for me. My boyfriend had grilled shrimp and his daughter had the Arrabbiata Sauce and pasta. I had the spinach and ricotta pasta. We shared a speculoos tiramisu that was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant.

So we cook our pizzas in a traditional wood-fired stone oven to preserve the authentic taste of real Italian pizza.

My wife got eggplant parm, and I rolled the dice on "special lasagna", which ended up being "lasagna 3 ways" - alfredo, tomato, and salmon/cream. All were excellent.

Thought about making reservations, but instead we just got there right when they opened and there would've been no need. Granted it was a work week night, literally for the entire hour we were there only two tables arrived. And I was counting us. Perhaps later you might want a reservation or you might have to wait. There were only about seven or eight tables me entire thing so it's cozy. The one person running the cash register and taking orders, was very kind, but a little distracted on her phone. I wonder if she was doing work. She was very sweet though and gave good recommendations. My friend got the Ragu while I opted for the gnocchi. I actually preferred the Ragu for sure. The meat was tender and delicious, and the noodles were thick and delightful. The gnocchi kind of tasted a little, bland and repetitive. To be honest, I wish we could've shared like five tiny plates. Felt like I was eating way too much gnocchi and didn't get a lot of diversity. The bacon on top did help a little. The dishes were about 25 a piece, but they definitely tasted homemade. We opted for the bruschetta as a starter and I would've skipped that. The tomatoes were super fresh and the bread was good but the olive oil was playing. Don't think it was worth $10. The wine selection was brilliant. Generally pretty affordable for the quality. Some delicious wines there that night. Love love, love the aesthetic. We definitely want to return and try some new things.
