Wanted Italian for dinner and came across this lovely place. It was amazing! We had the Penne Alla Crema and the Puttanesca. They were both delicious!

Take your Italian friends with you. Otherwise you might be served Irishified meals. Fresh but I wouldn't call it authentic.
Rather on the pricy side but the location warrants it.

Atmosphere:
Authentic Italian dining. There is a small waiting area up front which is nice because it keeps people from loitering around the tables. Italian music played in the background. Warm and cozy on a cold day.
Staff:
Very attentive and friendly. Checked on us regularly.
Cesar Salad:
Heavy on the dressing. Made all the lettuce and croutons very soggy. Beware, the anchovy taste is VERY strong if you’re not a fan.
Cannelloni di Carne:
Lots of sauce. Good flavor. Came with a side a fries which I’ve never seen before. Flavor was good.
Ravioli con Scampi:
The raviolis were actually tortellinis. It had a good amount of shrimp. The flavor was good, just wasn’t amazing. Still a solid choice.
