| - Never knew this place was here - I drove down 82 for 2 years on my way to work and never noticed it. A small little Italian restaurant tucked away in a plaza. Cozy and intimate atmosphere, great mood setting and an attentive wait staff. I had a great time here, BUT (and that's a big pause), be prepared to wait. We made reservations at 7, and we had an event to go to at 10 p.m., and we BARELY made it there in time. We had a party of 5, which isn't terrible, but with a very small kitchen and a small space, it was a larger party. We order some wine, apps, salads (which come with most dishes) and main dishes. The apps came out about 45 min after we ordered them. The salads took another 45 minutes after that (like, it's a salad - how hard can it be?), and then the dishes took almost another 45 minutes after that. I ended up filling up on bread (which was fresh from the oven and delicious) before my meal even came out. But when it did eventually get delivered (I got the gnocchi and artichokes in pesto sauce, "Gnocchi al tegamino"), it was so amazing and totally worth the wait. I think I died and went to heaven, that is how good it was. So that is why I gave this place 4 stars instead of 3 for the wait. My mom got the meatball and pasta dish ("Cavatelli con polpette"), as did one other gentleman at our table, and they both said it was the best pasta dish they ever had. My dad had the "Linguine all' aragosta", which he said was also worth the wait. The last woman at our table had one of the veal dishes, which she said was amazing. So overall, wait could have been much less - but it was worth it in the end.
