I went for the first time yesterday and both me and my husband really liked it. You can really tell that they put thought and effort into the food they serve. Everything we had tasted homemade. I had the Italian Wedding Soup. My husband has a four cheese pasta. We also shared an appetizer that had smoke salmon, capers, olives, and a balsamic reduction. They were all really tasty. They do also offer bulk meats, cheeses, and pastries for purchase. We want to make this one of our regular spots.
I found this place randomly and feel so grateful I gave it a try! Immediately, when you walk in, the staff greet you and make sure you’re serviced. I tried the lentil and potato soup, white chocolate cake, and caramel latte. EVERYTHING was perfect! 🤍 I will definitely come back for this authentic Italian experience.
My husband and a coworker came few weeks ago and he came home talking about how great it was. We stopped in for a quick breakfast..who doesn’t want a cannoli for breakfast? They were great and so was the coffee.
Great spot. Small joint. Enjoyed my breakfast immensely. Give grace, there was one lady running the whole show when we were there.
This spot is amazing!! Very friendly staff and the food is 10/10, highly recommend the gnocchi with pesto and the abruzzo panini, they also had my favorite rainbow cookies. Great selection of deserts and cute little grocery store in the back. Will definitely be coming back soon!
