The owner really cares about this place--you can tell the moment he greets you when you enter this cute tucked away bistro. He's from Sicily and seems heavily involved with all aspects of the food and menu. I was pleased to find ingredients you almost never find in Pittsburgh "Italian" restaurants--oxtail, sardines, baby octopus. No mushy overcooked pasta-- finally a restaurant that will serve pasta how it should be: al dente!!
