Good food & service. The new extra charges for whole wheat pasta & whole wheat pizza crust mean we visit less often. The Parmesan they offer with pasta dishes no longer tastes like real Parmesan from Italy. It has little flavor bowl

I used to go regularly but it had been several years since my last time, & last night was my last time. I ordered pasta with clams & I got a bowl of overcooked pasta swimming in cream with bits of things that maybe were clams.It wasn't even tasty. Oh, any the bread was stale. Serving bad food, & keeping it too cheap results in losing customers. P.S. Typically "pasta con vongole" does not have cream.

Excellent italian restaurant, we had pizza but the osso buco looked amazing as well (planning to try it next time). Dont forget to bring your own bottle of wine as this restaurant is strictly bring your own wine!
