I have passed this place on multiple occasions and based on the strip mall appearance would never have stopped. We were invited by friends and I am so glad! This place is an absolute gem. Inside is cozy and warm. Great for dining with friends or for a romantic date. I ordered the shrimp and spicy tomato sauce with black linguine. The pasta is freshly made and squid ink used to dye the pasta. It gives a nice subtle salty taste. I also had a taste of the gnocchi dish that is carried on the menu and it was fabolous. The texture was just right- not dry or overly chewy. I could have eaten the whole plate. We got the toll house pie and it was also amazing. For two meals, dessert, one glass of wine, and a couple of beers our bill was under $50. For the amount and quality of food, I felt it was a fantastic value. I will be back.
