This neighborhood Italian restaurant features thin-crust pizzas, handmade pastas, delicious mains, and a curated selection of cocktails and Italian wines.

We tried…
⭐️ The Mozzarella Sticks ($12): Absolutely delicious, especially the housemade marinara and ranch.
⭐️ Caprese Salad ($16): The flavors of the salad were so good, especially the aged balsamic! The Cesar also looked good though, so I might switch it up next time.
⭐️ Rigatoni alla Vodka ($21): 10/10 perfect. I will definitely order this again next time. I actually just finished my reheated leftovers and it was still SO good.
⭐️ Chicken Parmesan ($26): The chicken parm was good, BUT, it doesn’t come with any noodles. I thought that was weird… I feel like most people would expect noodles with their chicken parm! So just a heads up if you order it.
⭐️ Pepperoni & Hot Honey Pizza ($22): I thought the pizza was good, but I would probably skip it next time and focus just on the pasta, which I thought were better!
⭐️ Tiramisu ($14): Obviously so delicious. It’s also certainly big enough to share.
⭐️ Sweet Cream Soft Serve ($8): Not a bad size, but I’d want to order my own because I’m an ice cream fanatic, haha. The toppings of caramel, olive oil, candied cacao nibs, and sea salt really sell the dish.

With drinks (cocktails range $12-15), our bill would have been $149 (our meal was comped). As you can see, we ordered quite a bit of food, so that doesn’t seem overly pricey for a date night.

I would definitely go back! I’d order the Mozzarella Sticks, a Cesar Salad (just to try something new), the Rigatoni alla Vodka, and the soft serve. Mmmmm… I’m drooling just thinking about it!
