We welcome our guests to an authentic Italian restaurant: here we offer traditional cuisine, with a modern take on northern and southern Italian recipes. Mauro, the chef, and his wife Tina, have an huge amount of experience behind them.

Mauro is from Naples, Tina was born in a little sicilian town near by Enna.
He began to learn everything about the southern cuisine by his experience in Naples since he was a child, from “Polipetti alla Luciana” to “Paccheri ai frutti di mare”. Furthermore he moved in Milan and he had the chance to learn the northern cuisine, from “Risotto ai funghi porcini” to “Polenta grigliata”, one of his favourite specialties!
From an ancient sicilian tradition, Tina learnt everything about the desserts by her grandmother and her mother, from “Millefoglie” to “Cannoli cake”.

There's great food and service, and then there's exceptional food and service. Quality Foods Market consistently delivers exceptional food and service. My wife found out about this hidden gem earlier in the year, and it is now our staple restaurant for special occasions and date nights. We love to hear Chef Chris tell us stories about Italy and Italian food culture. It's a meal and an education and both are the best.

Husband and wife Chef Owners Jason & Erin "Cricket" Borajkiewicz create a small menu changing two-three times a week. After working seasonally in Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Puerto Rico, and Charleston, the two chefs decided to put down roots in Jason's hometown.

With an ever changing menu, there's no telling what you'll have when you dine with us, but rest assured that you'll leave feeling restored

Always a pleasant dining experience here. Food is well prepared, attentive service, excellent wine list. The steak diane is our go to, but the salmon and the chicken francaise were also excellent. Topped it off with crepes suzette expertly prepared. Quiet setting good for conversation.
