Came in for the first time this evening. Was greeted immediately by MaMa Renee. Great touch for a family owned spot. We were seated by Jamie and asked if we would like a drink? We ordered our drinks and a side of scratch made meatballs which were good and a great starter. I then asked if I could get a small plate of plain pasta with butter parmigiana cheese and cracked pepper to try out the pasta? Jamie said she would ask and returned and said that the chef would put it together for me and boy did he! It was great. For dinner we ordered a roasted Garlic, fresh mozzarella, red onion, and bell pepper pizza, and a larger serving of the special Pasta Described above. Obviously the pasta was great again, the Pizza was actually pretty good. Did I tell you that I am not a big fan of Pizza? So pretty good is a big deal! However like the sign says great customer service, and make sure you talk to MaMa? She is the kind of "different" that will make you smile. Great lady. So if around 59th and Bell and craving Italian, this is a must stop!
By the way if you get a sweet tooth try the creme' brûlée. Pretty DAMN good.
