  Excellent food. I've always had good experiences here. It's small, without many tables. I've never had to make a reservation, but they do get busy and all the tables fill up.

  Service was outstanding. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere. You walk up and it looks almost dive-y. But the interior is amazing! The decor was so homey. I've been to Italy and I can say from experience that it felt like an Italian trattoria.
  Note: this is NOT a place to go if you want a quick bite or are in a rush. This if for relaxing and enjoying who you are with and the atmosphere. Just like Italians do!
  Our waitress was so helpful in giving us things we would enjoy.
  drinks: we got a red blend bottle of wine that was great. We also got a Bellini and a champagne & amaretto drink that were both awesome.
  Appetizers: phenomenal mozzarella that was a special for the day. We also got a romaine salad and an arugula salad. Arugula salad was very lemon-y. Both were yummy!
  Pasta: we tried half portions of two pasta dishes: shells with a spicy garlic sauce and the gorgonzola gnocchi. Both AWESOME. The half portion isn't expressly written on the menu but it's such a great option because you don't have to eat pasta as a meal and get very filled. It's a great side dish.
  Entrees: we got the pan seared scallops which were a special and they melted in your mouth. Wow amazing. The other entree was the shrimp with polenta and veggies. The polenta was awesome. Smooth on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The shrimp was also delicious - slightly salty but overall phenomenal.
  Dessert: pear tarte with cream cheese crust and ice cream. Delicious! It had this raspberry sauce that was too die for.
