    This was one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in the states for gluten-free dining. They hand-make gluten-free pasta noodles and gluten-free gnocchi as well as housemade meatballs. They also have gluten-free focaccia and bread service. I was in literal heaven. Their burrata is imported from Italy, so I can eat it–I'm lactose-intolerant, so I can't handle the dairy here, but when I traveled to Europe I was able to eat the dairy there (likely due to the proteins in the milk). Anyways, for appetizers, we had meatballs (gluten-free) and a special (focaccia, burrata, prosciutto, arugula, and balsamic reduction). It was soooo delicious. For my entree, I had to get the gnocchi, because I've never had gluten-free gnocchi at a restaurant...ever! It was outstanding–I ate the entire dish clean. Then for dessert, we had an affogato with gelato and decaf espresso shot. The service was great, and our server was very knowledgeable and helpful guiding me through their gluten-free options. The restaurant was not crowded at all on a Sunday evening at 5PM. It is located in Little Italy in Baltimore. We arrived early for our reservation and were seated right away. The only thing off was that they were playing lofi music which didn't really fit the vibes lol. I can't wait to dine here again and try the handmade gluten-free pasta. This place is a gem for anyone following a gluten-free diet.

    Excellent food! Very delicious. The wait service could be improved. Five separate times we were asked if we were done with our plate when there was still food on it. We were early for our reservation so it should not have been time to turn the table over. The noise level was high.

    Hair in food, server very poor at checking on us, water girl bad at refilling water and took bread plates before we were done eating. Actually, she tried to take everything before we were done eating. Main course just average, dessert not great. Lots of screaming children. Not worth the money.

    I wanted to love this place as it is in my neighborhood. We ordered a caesar salad- it was ok, the fried calamari and shrimp were not crispy and I know we are in Maryland but it had old bay on it. For the main courses we tried the two veal dishes. The veal was good very tender but what got me was the dismal sides. It was supposed to be veggies of some sort but what we got was a 1/2 tomato with grill marks, 2 pieces of zucchini with grill marks and what looked to be six or seven square breakfast potatoes. The wait for a glass of wine that we wanted to drink with dinner was at least 1/2 hour well past the time it took to eat 2 drinks 2 glasses of wine 2 main courses and we split the Caesar and calamari- total $156 . I don’t mind paying for a good meal but… I guess I should have ordered the pasta.

    Small food portions for the price you pay. $14 for small toasted bread with diced tomatoes (bruschetta). And then $26 for hard rigatoni with a few olives and no anchovies even though the menu listed it with anchovies. Overpriced but underwhelming food.

    Food was delicious. Restaurant very vocal about making any dietary accommodations which was very appreciated. They might benefit from some soundproofing as it was very loud and not terribly packed.

    Saturday night service. Service started slow; almost 10 minutes before someone came over but like many restaurants seems understaffed. However, once our waiter started our service, it was excellent service. Friendly and attentive. Food was excellent. We shared a salad and the marinated warm olives then each had black squid ink ravioli with crab meat. Very fresh tasting, served hot and with a sauce that complemented and did not drown the crab flavor. Finished with tiramisu and good coffee. Prices were what should be expected for a fine restaurant. Definitely recommend.
