    Has since become a destination for house-made pasta dishes, intriguing entrees utilizing local ingredients and fresh small plates. There's a $19 wine list on Mondays and Tuesdays. [Eater 18 Member]

    From an Italian New Yorker who knows Italian food this is one of my most favorite restaurants on the east coast. The ricotta gnocchi is my favorite but have yet I be disappointed by anything else

    The chicken parmesean and swordfish piccata was absolutely amazing. For dessert get the strawberry banana cream cheesecake. To die for!

    I'd argue the grilled octopus is the best item on the menu. Really enjoyed the fish entrees (swordfish in particular) as well.

    Short ribs were amazing but the risotto cake that came with it was a little bland, the goat cheese lasagna was also really good!

    The bread and charred octopus were well done. Good wine choice but pasta was quite salty. Ambiance of place is ambiguous with varying dress code expectations.
