| - My girlfriend and I went here last night at 6pm. Initially we were a little concerned, because the ambiance is very simple-- one large room with tables and a small bar. But in the end, the food was fresh, flavorful, and "real" Italian food. We will definitely be coming back regularly.
Our waiter, who was the son of the cook (who i assume owns the restaurant) was great and had good recommendations. We ordered a Caesar salad as our appetizer, the Penne All' Arrabbiata with sausage and Scampi Fra Diavolo with Tiramisu as our dessert. The salad we learned, used a house made Caesar dressing, was incredibly flavorful but the presentation could have been better. The entrees were great, tasting like the dinners I had growing up in an Italian household. Portions were of adequate size, not overwhelmingly large, and not small. The tiramisu was also authentic, light, and delicious.
Overall, this is a hidden gem in Arcadia. Its not fancy, which makes it a nice casual choice for dinner, and the pricing is about average to a little high. Our bill, without alcohol, was just under $50. I will be back soon!
