What diners are saying
Diners celebrate this cozy Italian spot for its excellent homemade pasta and warm, friendly service. Standout dishes include the rich Pappardelle Bolognese with soft handmade noodles, the sweet butternut squash tortelli, and the flavorful sautéed mussels in spicy tomato sauce. While the daily happy hour and affordable prices are major draws, guests also rave about the seafood options, particularly the octopus appetizer and seafood tagliolini, though some found the tiramisu and appetizers like the melon prosciutto hit-or-miss.
