Disclaimer to those looking for Italian-American, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for made-from-scratch authentic Italian food then you have just found a gem. I dated a guy in high school for 4 years with a mom that immigrated to the US when she was in her late teens, learned all her cooking from her mamma in Campo Basso Italy and was never influenced by American cooking due to that fact. This is the first time I have ever had food that rivaled the amazingness that lady used to whip out in her kitchen!
Second off, if you want amazing service with a personal touch and someone who will remember you by face (probably not name at first haha) then ask for Matt. I can't recommend a more down to earth, genuine and attentive server. He sets the bar high and knows so much about the menu.
My friend and I went here for dinner and drinks. We were so impressed and so stuffed. We still talk about needing to go back soon! Come prepared to spend some money in order to experience the menu and the wine/cocktail selection. The price point is very reasonable though for the atmosphere, service, taste and quality of the food and ingredients.
We started with the House Meatballs and the Roasted Octopus. The meatball is perfect and tender. The mixture of veal and beef tastes divine, cooked so that its juicy yet tender. The pecorino was fresh and the sauce was yummy. The octopus was at Matt's recommendation and I was apprehensive but gave it a shot. Wow- so amazing and also had a charred smoky taste. It was delicious.
Next, my friend had the Caesar salad and I had the Beet and Arugula salad. He was super satisfied with his salad and said it tasted like a real Caesar should. My salad was amazing as well, with fresh ingredients and a yummy lemon vinaigrette.
We then split two entrees- the Pappardelle Bolognese and the Short Rib. These were both also amazing. The pasta was out of this world and so clearly homemade. I know the description is kind of basic sounding but I assure you the taste is not. The Short Rib was so tender and yummy. I would highly recommend both.
Finally, for dessert we had vanilla filled cannolis. Delish!
I had a few cocktails and the manager sent us two glasses amazing red wine on the house that paired perfectly with our food. It was a very nice gesture.
Basically, check this place out! Service food and ambiance are all on point.
