We lvoe Italian restaurants and are quite picky about them. We discovered this gem as it is 2 blocks from our place. It is in a strip mall, but that doesn't bother us a bit. We've hit this place several times in a few days. I could eat there very night. The homemade pasta is out of this world. The pasta with speck and light cream sauce has a smoky flavor that is so good. We had the scallops special with roasted red pepper sauce. I don't like scallops but I tried it and loved it. We've had the pork osso bucco - again, fabulous! The gnocci with bolognese meat sauce is light and fluffy in a rich, complex tomato sauce. Try the smoked carpaccio, it is different than normal carpaccio and absolutely delicious. You absolutely can not go wrong at this place with anything you order. The wine list is good - you can't go wrong with the Vietti or any of the italian wines they carry.
The patio is lovely and the service is incredible. Wanda has been there for like 17 years and is Italian. We had a great time conversing with her about Italy, the food, sights, etc.
You must try this place!
