"Very delicious, authentic Italian cooking. Our personal tweaks to the menu items were happily accommodated. The pasta dishes were extremely flavorful without being overly salty or too garlicky, the vegetables in the primavera were fresh and the soup was wonderful. Do not skip the tiramisu. It’s homemade and delicious, as was the cappuccino. Enjoy!"
