Visited the restaurant eagerly waiting to try great food after reading all the reviews. I was prepared to also leave a great one but here we go: 1. Bread was served cold and dry. tasted somewhat bitter. When they took longer than a reasonable amount of time to reheat it, and I reminded them, I was spoken to with a very unfriendly tone, ‘Bread takes time to toast.’ 2. Calamari quantity was very little. 3. Gnocchi with pesto: the gnocchi tasted as if it were made in different batches. Some were grainy and the others were okay. The pesto sauce was one of the blandest items I’ve ever had. 4. Risotto with shrimp was okay. Maybe we ordered the wrong items on the menu.

Great authentic Italian restaurant. Make sure you secure a reservation. I ordered the linguinette alle vongole piccanti and it was perfectly cooked; better than the same dish I had in Italy. The cannoli was perfect; not too sweet. Our party of five ordered different entree and none of us were disappointed. I’d highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely be back again.
