“ The food is amazing, some of the best Italian I’ve had in the area. Service was excellent. The only negative is there were visible particles “floaties” of some kind in the tap water they serve. I’d recommend getting the bottled water ”
“ Would totally make the 1 hour drive to eat the cavatelli alla duresa again! The warm, soft bread with the oil dip with olives was a nice start. But the pasta! Uff, it was so creamy and flavorful without any cream and just a handful of ingredients, and the pasta shape was *perfect* to cradle all that good sauce. The waiter was friendly and informative, the place was clean, and I appreciated not being seated so close to other tables. I wish I lived closer so I'd be able to try something new more often but I guess for now I'll just have to imagine all the other plates tasting just as good as the cavatelli I had, and the spinach ravioli the bf had. ”
“ We bought our forever home in 2022, and have just found our favorite neighbor. 1.5 miles literally, lol. The hot and spicy shrimp and spicy calamari appetizers were delicious. The sauce with the shrimp had so much flavor and it was a nice thick tomato consistency to eat with the toasted bread. The calamari was cooked perfect with a beautiful thick sauce, beautiful spice that sticks with your taste buds. We also ordered a meatball Parm. It was excellent. The flavors of all the ingredients in the meatballs complimenting each other. No notion of over bread crumbing them to the point of that compounded taste. Absolutely delectable. The calamari fra diablo had a smooth thick sauce that was sweet with the hints of fresh garlic and fresh basil. Simply amazing. Hands down flavors that make them distinctly on another level than most places. There pizza is also great, however NO, this is not a pizza place. Prices are fair, and the quality of cuisine is worth it!! We will see you soon neighbor!!? Thank you!! ”
“ The writer was very charming and nice and had good suggestions for food. The host was nice and checked up on us. The ravioli was amazing. The chicken Alfredo with breaded Cajun chicken wa as the best fettuccine Alfredo I have ever had and I'm from Brooklyn, NY. This will be a place I go to many times in the summer, as I spend many weekends up here. ”

“ Food is amazing and service is great. Definitely a place to stop pasta and pizza. ”
“ The owner was so friendly. I only give it a 3 because it was hot in there, but a very cozy atmosphere. The food was amazing ! My son and I enjoyed talking to the owner and will highly recommend it. We could not believe the quality of the special pizza we ate, but it was very filling. I think it was called "Grandma's Pizza ," ”
