We had pranzo here today and can’t wait to go back. Great friendly service and utterly delicious food at very reasonable prices. The gnocchi with black truffles and pumpkin cream sauce is divine and the coniglio was prepared differently than any I’ve had, sort of like a rabbit porchetta. Great wine and Prosecco and yummy dessert. Went back again for dinner and once again we’re amazed by the most perfect gnocchi we’ve ever had and we’ve been to every region of Italy! And another delicious split of vino rosso. Taking one home to California.

Wonderfully creative dishes, beautifully presented, delicious! My wife’s favorite is the beggars purse pasta with pears and a radicchio sauce. Yum! I had a amazing pistacchio umbrichelli, with pancetta, vibrantly green and very good. Tender steak with green pepper sauce was cooked perfectly. A simple dish of porcini mushrooms and potatoes was vegetarian heaven. And then the desserts, with their signature drawings and pithy sayings, drawn on the plate in chocolate. This place is a find and now that we have found it again, we will be back soon.
