I've never been to Italy but whenever I eat here I imagine that this is what it would be like. In fact, I believe the owner and his family are Italian so whenever you take a bite you can tell it's all home made and to die for! I like it because it's a cozy little spot close to china town but they treat you like they would at a five star restaurant. They will even work with you a bit and make something not on the menu if you want something they don't have. If you aren't dining in, they also have a great deli where you can order takeout. This has easily become one of my favorite local spots. It's also never too crowded so you don't have to worry about waiting. Can't wait to go back for more!
