Handmade Pasta
Our chefs craft fresh pasta daily using traditional techniques and seasonal ingredients. Each dish highlights regional Italian flavors through house-made tonnarelli, gnocchi, and specialty shapes paired with house-milled flours. Signature sauces combine San Marzano tomatoes, imported Parmigiano-Reggiano, and locally sourced produce to create authentic flavor profiles that reflect Italy's diverse culinary heritage while maintaining modern presentation standards.
Curated Wine Selection
We feature an extensive wine list focused on small Italian family vineyards and European producers. Our sommeliers select rare vintages and artisanal labels unavailable elsewhere in the US, with emphasis on organic and biodynamic practices. The collection includes 200+ labels spanning all Italian regions, complemented by carefully chosen dessert wines and amari that enhance both traditional and contemporary Italian dining experiences through expert pairings.

Each location offers dedicated event spaces with customizable menus featuring seasonal specialties and signature cocktails.

Excellent mocha and service. Very comfortable interior. My new favorite spot to sit down and sip on a coffee for a bit. Bombolinis are good too!

A place to enjoy traditional Italian cuisine. although not my usual pasta dish from a restaurant, the Rigatoni Alla Vodka was succulent with just the right amount of sauce and parmesan. On the other hand for the Strozzapreti Cacio E Pepe, although my guest was pleased with it... I didn't care for it's particular taste. The drinks were continually well crafted by Alfonso. We got the "night watch." It was such a good drink, we had to get it twice. A great time and good ambiance. I'll be back.
not pictured was the prosecco from the tap. It was a bit dry for my taste, but

The service here was amazing, the food was amazing, and the environment was (surprise) amazing. The thing that set this place apart was that we mentioned once that it was our friend's birthday, and the staff brought out a dessert with a candle, and glasses of champagne for the whole table. Such a kind gesture from a very friendly group of people that made our night :) we will be back!

What a nice smaller corner Italian restaurant. The drink specials are delicious. Sampled 3 dishes between us and all three were excellent. AL dente pasta. Flavorful sauces without too much spice. The eggplant appetizer must be tried. Excellent service.
