  • We have eaten here several times (sometimes 2x a week).  We love each and every food we ordered from the menu.  The food is delicious and the gelato are awesome.  The staff are nice. This is a neighborhood gem.

  • One of my favorites cafes/restaurants! I always stop if I'm driving anywhere in the vicinity. All the food is great, my favorites are fried panzerotti, Italian tuna salad, homemade soups, focaccia-like pizza, and of course gelato! Friendly staff, good prices, and amazing food that you can't find anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and stop in.

  • I started coming here for the rib-eye steak sandwich and soon tried other items on the menu and was pleasantly surprised their paninis, pizzas, pastas are amazing.  Everything here is authentic Italian.  You can finish off your meal with their signature Gelato or fried dough with powdered sugar. Delizioso!
