The eggplant appetizer & Burrata appetizers were amazing. The tortellini with homemade sausage & the gnocchi with meat sauce entrees were out of this world!

Great atmosphere & the waiter was very kind.

We ordered Carbonara & Veal Steak.
Carbonara: Very salty & plain flavor.
Steak: Also plain flavor.

Overall, great atmosphere but I wish the food tasted better for the price we paid.

I've never had food good enough to leave a review. The focaccia & tortellini here are the best things i've ever eaten. It's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for I promise. it's amazing.
