If ur in a mood for good freshly made pasta, this is as good as it gets here on the peninsula in my opinion. Also reasonably priced for everything from wine to dessert

Had 415P early dinner reservations and went to restaurant and it was CLOSED. Called restaurant and no one answered. Looking inside it was dark, and no one was there. Left and dined elsewhere.

Went for lunch and everything was so good in this small neighborhood spot. The red snapper special was as good as the more upscale places

Food was really delicious and can’t beat the value. Service was good but they were definitely shortstaffed and did the best they could under the circumstances. Definitely recommend the quality of the food and prices! Casual place but perfect for my son’s 15th birthday lunch!

You have to taste fresh pasta to experience the difference. And my favorite is the radiator pasta country style (rustica). You will not be disappointed by the classics either. We also bought some sun dried tomato sauce for dipping bread at home. Enjoy!

The food was very good and the prices were reasonable. It’s a small place so make sure you have a reservation. The portion size was impressive we shared a salad and was quite satisfied with it as a starter.
