Complimentary focaccia bread and spread - delicious. Love the spread…read more Beef Carpaccio- it was alright. Pasta Bolognese- our friend loved it. Butternut squash ravioli with brown butter sage - our vegetarian friend loved it. Fruiti Di Mare - a brothy noodle dish, reminded me of Bouillabaisse. I like it but my husband prefers a thicker sauce. It contained mostly mollusks, squids and shrimps I didn't see any fishes at all. The shrimps and squids were overcooked, dried and tough. It's a no no for me. Desserts: Cheesecake- not bad Chocolate Lava cake - not bad Bread pudding with Rum and Raisin - too dense and no traces of rum or raisin whatsoever. Probably our least favorite Tiramisu- delicious!!! The sauce on top was outstanding. I would return just for this.

I have held several of my company Christmas Dinner parties here....excellent. If you are looking for nice dinner...or need an event venue, then can provide the entire restaurant for a party etc. Check them out. The owner/manager, Fide, is an absolute charm. She went above and beyond, ensuring there were flowers on the table and even bringing out a special tray of desserts to celebrate. As for the food, it was excellent--clean, hot, and authentic. We had the Chicken Parmesan, a fantastic Seafood Pasta, and the Eggplant, along with Bruschetta and Calamari for appetizers. The service is incredibly friendly and the prices are very fair.

The calamari was hot and crispy and especially nice when dipped in the tartar or cocktail sauce. Included with the food was a French bread and olive oil, balsamic vinegar and peppers. The spaghetti and meatball was a good value with a couple of sliced meatballs. The sauce was on the lighter side. Overall, the portion was appropriate and value was good.

They don't skimp on the portions and it's very filling as a meal and would be a good appetizer for two. Seafood linguini is also really delicious! Never fails. I love their consistency. It's hard to find a place you can order delivery from that always comes through with the flavor. I especially love how they add a soft shortbread cookie with their desserts. Looking forward to one day coming in person to experience the service and ambiance. I've driven by though and it looks like a great vibe from the outside.

This restaurant is located in this small complex by Starbucks and the old closed down Lucky's (I…read morebelieve). There aren't many businesses in this complex so there's always plenty of parking. I inside of the restaurant was small but had plenty of tables. It was a slow day on that weekday early dinner time. We asked to order our items for take out. We waited not too long as I remember. How was the food? Fried Calamari- for only being a couple minutes away I wonder why the calamari was already almost cold when we ate it. It was pretty disappointing. Maybe they just had it in the box while they waited for the rest of our order. I don't know. Flavor was good. Pizza Primavera - It was good, I was okay with it. The pizza dough wasn't my favorite but it was fine. White Pasta - I honestly don't remember what the name was but it was an item my bf ordered. This was terrible. Like there was too much roux to make the bechamel. It tasted of flour. Not much salt, not much of other flavors. Not enough milk and cheese and butter. He took a bite and put it down. Overall, glad we tried it but we might not be coming back. With the economy now, it's disappointing when the food is terrible for how much we pay for.

It seems like this place may have changed ownership recently since what we got was not at all…read moresimilar to the other photos on Yelp. Came here on a weekday for dinner and it was mostly empty. We got the chicken parm and the margherita pizza. With the margherita pizza, the dough was obviously bought premade and frozen. It was dry and hard as expected from a premade frozen pizza dough. Not sure if the whole thing was bought frozen. There was generous amounts of cheese with one sad basil leaf of each quarter. One positive thing I can add about the pizza is that the cheese does have a satisfying flavor, giving me a nostalgic flashback to school lunch pizza. As for the pasta, the chicken has a strange taste (maybe too strong on a vodka marinade?). There was way too much sauce for the amount of pasta, and it had a very light and bright flavor, not terrible but definitely lacking depth and any nuances of aromatics or herbs. The chicken was not breaded and instead grilled. Servers were attentive, but seemed to have a lot of staff mostly standing around.

Besides, the steady stream of cappuccini that we devour, working back and forth across the menu is consistently a joy. This time we started with the Polipo e Patate. The octopus was tender, the potatoes perfectly toothsome, the flavor profile perky without being punchy. The butatta con prosciutto also hit the spot. The texture of the butatta sings, the drizzle of olive oil compliments, and the saltiness of the prosciutto balances the creaminess and mildness of the butatta. It's a great summer dish. Walking out humming a tune, already looking forward to the next visit. Thanks, Chef Giuseppe & crew!
