With "Wine and Dine Wednesdays" how could you go wrong?! You'll get the BEST of the best at half price! And the food is delicious!!! Have you tried the Gnocchi with Bolognese or the Tagliata? Mmmmmm. Read more

Gnocchi is so soft! However, my favorite part was dessert . They had a great pear gelato that would be a nice summer treat.

Voted one of our Best new Restaurants for 2011. Classic arancine, a delightful salumi formaggi plate, and dead-on spaghetti with tuna ragù . Affogato with a shot of espresso is a perfecto finish.

Try the Swiss chard tortelloni from our 100 Best list: These chard-stuffed pasta pockets aren’t currently on the menu. But we strongly encourage you to start a petition to bring them back.

Sit outside in the garden . Order white wine and get to sharing the appetizers . Leave room for dessert , I promise it's worth it :)

The crostini , gnocchi , risotto , and ravioli--delicious and melt in your mouth. The meat and cheese plate is also divine. Tony (waiter ) and Massimo (owner) ensured that we had a fabulous experience.

High concept Italian Bistro . Delicious pastas and great wine ! Enjoyed it!

The Galletto entree was excellent and comes with some really tasty cauliflower mash .

The best lobster stuffed cashew stuffed veal stuffed ricotta encrusted salmon pate I've ever had.

Patio , food, service all great! Highly recommend. Polenta fries delicious

Try the gnocchi or short rib ravioli...both are amazing! Whitefish , shrimp & artichokes and pomegranate panna cotta are also excellent. YUMMY!

The best white fish I've had in the city . Massimo - the owner - is amazing and so charming.
