We were so grateful to find this spot after a few of our other ideas were full up at 7pm with a 2 hour wait. We walked in & the hostess was happy to have us & eager to know we enjoyed. We felt welcomed & well taken care of & had delicious, comforting pasta & pizza! (The fungi pizza is so good!)

This is in the location where one of my old favorites used to be (Mangiafocco) so it's fun that the new spot was also delicious.
