    The pastas are amazing, particularly the spinach ravioli and the lasagna. The Caesar salad is also great. Normally I have found this place to be a stellar atmosphere, but when dining at 9pm you do not expect to be subjected to a screaming baby for the entire meal, which perhaps coincidentally, led to slower and less attentive service than usual from the waitress. The young man that works there, perhaps as a busboy, is very kind and attentive, seemingly going above and beyond his assigned duties. All said, the food was stellar and I will definitely be going back.

    Thank you so much for your kind words about our pasta and Caesar salad! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your meal, and we truly appreciate your feedback on the atmosphere and service. We apologize for the disruption caused by the noise during your visit—it’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide, especially later in the evening. We're also glad to hear the young man made a positive impression, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another great meal!

    My husband and I were very impressed with our dinners we had here. They were full of flavour and authentically Italian. Highly recommend a visit here

    Not kid friendly. No kids menu, no high chairs or boosters. Owner was extremely worried about the kids because he has a Ferrari parked in the middle of the restaurant. They left the unopened wine bottle on the table and handed a corkscrew to my wife to open it herself and poor the wine. We spelled a water glass and the waiter walked over and just left a pile of towels on the table without any offer to help clean it up. Stange place.

    Little Italy was charming, we liked the replica of Magnum PI Ferrari smack in the middle of the restaurant. My Veal Piccata was delicious and service was very attentive. Prices very reasonable.. Would definitely revisit ..

    Understaffed but very friendly. Spinach Ravioli was good, chicken parm wasn’t good. Value kind of pricey for average food.
