Heaven!! What a great new find!! neighborhood type place (even though it's on stupid crazy busy Eastern) with fabulous food! Our waiter, Daniel was super nice and just attentive "enough".. didn't hover but did seem to know when to check-in. We each had a special, Shrimp in pesto w/ pappardelle was INSANELY DELICIOUS! Osso bucco was also VERY yummy! Tiramisu was SPOT ON!! Generous portions of excellent food. Can't wait to go back and try their other dishes. This is the real deal for casual Italian dining!! Everyone's treated like family! Just what you want in an Italian restaurant. We were in shorts & t-shirts as were many others, but there were also people dressed in dressier date night attire, so I imagine anything goes.
Ohh. We also had meatball appetizer and they were done to perfection - served In a nice sweet "gravy". Very tender, perfectly put together... just firm enough to not fall apart/not "overworked". Cesar salad was simple and tasty, with just the right amount of dressing. Croutons were crispy and delicate. Garlic knots that accompanied meal were tasty too (not dripping in oil like some places). That said, their olive oil dipping sauce was YUMMY too. Yeah. We will be BACK!!
