"Absolutely loved this place! The pasta was fresh and full of flavor. Great atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better. Drinks were top-notch too. The Negroni was perfectly balanced, and the Aperol Spritz was light and refreshing. We ended with a delicious tiramisu that was the perfect touch. Authentic, cozy, and delicious, highly recommend!"

"This was a cool find!!!! Fresh made Italian food. Amazing!!! The brick oven is visible. Don't let the size of the dining room deter you. My husband said, it's small, but I figured it was worth a try. Plenty of parking, which ended up being free due to time of day. Watch your bill for an automatic TIP, though. I'm assuming it's because we had 5 people, but I almost gave them double. 😬 Luckily, I looked again to see why it was so expensive after she brought me the one to sign. I'm not complaining, just want you to be aware. The Chicken Parmesean and Wild Mushroom Ravioli were the best of the 5 entrees we got. Nothing was bad. The garlic bread(pizza) was delicious! ENJOY!"

"We get a pizza with a lot sea food and it was nice. A little soft . So we have to eat it with silverware 🍴. No natural juice just cans 😕 I get a margarita. It was decent. The service was really good The only down side is not parking ."

"In town for a concert and chose to dine here since it was close to the venue. We got there before the pre-concert crowd came in and it was amazing! Love the set up of place and the staff was super attentive and nice. The portions are very generous. Had to pack up half my mushroom ravioli it was so filling. I did leave a little room for dessert and a drink. The espresso martini was just what I needed to keep my energy up for the concert haha I'm definitely keeping it on my list of places to return to if I'm ever back in Newark."
