A friend assured me this was "life-changing pasta" - well, I don't know if my life has CHANGED so much, but it is certainly richer for knowing about this hidden gem. We split two different pasta dishes (the tortellini and the baked ziti) and two salads and a cannoli, and the experience was top-notch at every level. The food is simple in terms of recipes, flavor profiles, etc., but simply exquisitely executed. Service is a tad slow compared to other places but this is clearly not a "turn the tables" sort of operation - enjoy the time and atmosphere. We didn't have a reservation so we were in the bar area near a very talented musician who delicately played well-known songs just below the level of conversation (as well as a couple of "Happy birthdays" for two people having their special day). The owners checked in with our table several different times. This is a place that is well-run with tremendous love and care. It's a tad on the pricey compared to some other places - just a tad - but still a bargain, as I'd expect to pay twice as much in LA or NY and be just as satisfied. Go! Enjoy!
