It's such a shame because their ravioli and sauce taste so good.

We both greatly enjoyed our respective menus. I loved my beet carpaccio and burrata salad. The beets were cooked perfectly and were so fresh. I enjoyed my pan-seared branzino. The tamarind, lime, & habanero sauce that went with it was delicious. I was initially worried about the habanero because I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but pairing it with the fish toned down the spice. The merengue dessert was so yummy. The service was great - our waitress was kind and attentive. The ambiance was cozy. They did a great job with the lighting and setting a romantic valentines day dinner vibe. We will be back!

The parking situation wasn't great -- mostly street parking, and it felt pretty hectic. The restaurant itself is quaint but small, so it gets crowded and loud inside. We had a patio reservation and were seated in the covered patio, which ended up being perfect since it was freezing outside and much quieter than the main dining room. For food and drinks, I ordered a nonalcoholic spritz, which was really refreshing. We shared a pizza that was pretty good, and I ordered the black pepper and parmesan spaghetti. It was okay -- not bad, but nothing too memorable. Overall, we enjoyed our food, and our waiter was very nice and attentive. I'd recommend trying it out and definitely making a reservation.

Considering the casual upscale nature of the restaurant, we expected a bit more attention to the table in terms of checking in order additional dishes / drinks. The tables were also quite small and our table in particular was a bit uncomfortable to dine at. Food wise, we were impressed with everything but their pizza's. Their appetizers were solid, both pasta dishes were delicious, and flavor and portions were solid. Their pizza style is a thicker crust style and we weren't a fan of the duck pizza at all, and their pepperoni based pizza was fine. Not the biggest fan of their dough or crust. Their cavatelli was delicious!

They were busy but we felt forgotten about more than once and that shouldn't happen.

Best Italian dining experience we have had in a while! Looking forward to coming back very soon! My Chicken Parmigiana was excellent. Crispy and moist and lots of cheese. The Arancini were outstanding! The salsa verde aioli underneath was very good. I absolutely loved the Lamb meatballs and the bread and sauce that accompanied them were very filling. Next time, we will not get the bread basket. It was underwhelming for us, although the smoked paprika aioli was delicious. Again, this was a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Can't wait to return!

If you want something light and not be left out of happy hour. Next we got the Margherita Pizza, another delicious happy hour item. Tasted so fresh, light on the sauce. Minimal ingredients but that's what made it impeccable. Lastly I had to try the Bucatini Alla Pesto Siciliano from the main menu, it was worth every bite. You could taste how fresh the pesto was. You could taste the basil, it was creamy and delightful. Overall I would say this restaurant was a 10/10. The garden patio is so lovely, the ambiance is incredible. Great for a girls lunch and romantic dinner date with your partner.

Parking: Tons of parking here surprisingly, both a paved lot and a pebble lot. We had a reservation for 3 at 7PM and were promptly seated at a booth after a small line of people. Order-to-Appetizer: 15 Minutes Order-to-Entrees: 30 MInutes For three people, we ordered: Dairymaid's Cheese Board (4/5): Comes with four cheeses, five small pieces of sourdough, honey-spritzed grapes, green Granny Smith apples, and fava beans. I wish they gave us more bread with the cheeses and preserves. The four cheeses provided were slices of a five-year aged Cheddar, Oveja Anejo, Tomarashi, and Gruyere. I enjoyed the Tomarashi the most. It is a bit pricey for what you get, but very sharable and a great starter. Shady Acres Pizza with prosciutto (3.5/5): I really don't like getting thin crust pizza that isn't crispy, and unfortunately this was a soggy thin crust pizza. The toppings themselves were very flavorful, and the end parts were crispy enough. 5 Cheese Calzone with chicken (3.5/5): Whew, five cheeses makes for a salty calzone. The side marinara sauce provides a good balance. It's very filling. Chicken might have been a good addition because prosciutto might have made it too salty. It was larger than expected which was nice for sharability. Service was kind of iffy. They were pretty rude with not providing us utensils and seeming almost angry that we asked for some for the cheese board. They mixed up our order (we asked for chicken on the pizza and prosciutto on the calzone and they flipped it) and seemed almost apologetically serving us afterwards. Overall, would recommend as a relaxed date spot at a reasonable price. I paid via inKind and applied referral credit with no issues. Would come back with inKind credit, probably not at full price.

I have no idea how they do it, but it was perfection. They also use the tiny cup pepperonis, which had the crispy edges that I enjoy. The wings were a little overcooked, but the lemon pepper seasoning they use was so delicious it was easy to forgive. Finally, the staff here really rounded out the experience for us. They were so darn friendly and patient, taking time to explain the menu, offer suggestions, and wait while four indecisive people decided what they wanted. These days, that's a rarity and deserves to be mentioned. Loved this place and will certainly be back.

It is located in a small shopping strip right across from a park. Not exactly hidden, but if you are driving by quickly, you just might miss it. So keep your eyes open. It is the perfect spot to grab a sandwich or pastry and enjoy it outside. They have charming outdoor seating, or you can take it to the park just across the street. You can also find them at the Voss Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. They sell freshly baked bread and ready to cook pasta you can take home and enjoy in minutes.

Cacio e Pepe is my favorite pasta, so I was a little disappointed they don't have it on the menu as a dish itself, but the arancini was delicious! For mains, my husband had the salmon. We ordered it medium and it came more well done, however, it was perfectly crispy on the outside and still moist in the center. Very tasty. I had the ricotta cavatelli, which might be the best pasta I've ever had. The shrimp were so plump and fresh. There was plenty of crab throughout.

We will definitely return to try more things.
