i dont usually review places, but this was the best
Fettuccine with Roasted Chicken ive ever had. they added so much chicken, the sauce wasn't watery and it didnt sink to the bottom, everything about it was perfect. the bread was free and it was perfectly baked and airy and amazing. the Chocolate Mousse was light and frothy and airy and just so perfect. Best meal i've had in months.

My favorite Italian place! Love the Gorgonzola Gnocchi - the radicchio's bitterness is perfect with the cream sauce. Ravioli Trio offers good variety in one plate! The Sautéed Clams/Mussels Mix is so yummy - lots of white wine butter broth with leeks - you can take out all the shells and eat it like a soup. Worth the price.

The pork sandwich was absolue perfection - and it was huge, two days worth.
The Pesto Chips are going to be a regular thing

The Gorgonzola Gnocchi and Chocolate Mousse are not to be missed!This was our second time ordering these two and they were fire once more. The Side of Meatball was not it. It's a good value but super tough and salty. The penne from the Kid Pasta was overcooked and mushy, but the tomato cream sauce was good.

We usually like to add chicken to the Gorgonzola Gnocchi, unfortunately this time, the chicken was really rubbery and there were bits of bones. The Penne Chicken was a new item I wanted to try. I have to say, hard pass next time. It tastes burnt, chicken was overcooked, and it was just an oily mess.
