Micah S.Micah Shotel: The verdura lasagna is amazing (all the lasagnas are wonderful but verdura is my favorite). For a change from lasagna try the ravioli alla romana... And get some bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

David B.David Bishop: Quite an amazing menu for lunch, their specialty, with a dinner menu 'to go' from 3:30-6:30.

Yasemin O.Yasemin Ozcan: You can't go wrong with their truffle ravioli, any of the lasagna, and caprese salad. After the meal, enjoy espresso made all'italiana
