Description

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Nice, quiet, restaurant with authentic Italian food. Very nice restaurant with semi-reasonable pricing.

Tips

• They now accept most major credit cards. But their credit card machine is not always working. Bring enough cash to cover the bill and for parking lot or else you have to run next door to get cash from ATM.
• This restaurant offers an alcove in the back that is quiet and out of the way. The restaurant is generally quiet with genuinely home-made pasta on the menu.

• The cost of main pasta dishes is not too bad but the starters are a bit pricey. Main portions are not large but not tiny either. You might not be full from just a main.
• They don't like when you come just for desert, if that's your intention call them first to make sure its not a problem. (Feb 2014)

• Expect to spend about $50 for just mains, $75 with starters and mains but it is much nicer than standard milchig restaurants.
• On Motzaei Shabbos it gets quite busy you'll need a reservation.
