Avi F. • December 16, 2012Everyone talks up the cannoli (which are fantastic) but I'll take a fresh warm almond biscotti any morning. Buy them by the pound. Great little place with really friendly service.

Casey R. • July 23, 2017Burrata bruschetta is delicious and if you have room for desert- the unicorn cannoli. Service is great and very quick.
