Had wedding rehearsal dinner here. Great atmosphere and food. Manager and staff were attentive to our party of ~10 people. They accommodated bringing our own wine with a small corkage fee.

Food is very reasonably priced. Excellent atmosphere. Taste is excellent. Highly recommended.

On my list of places to visit again! It's a fairly small place, but very comfortable and cozy inside. We easily made a same-day reservation for dinner (for 2) at 7:30p on a Monday, and when we arrived, the host had one of the booths set aside with a "reserved" sign. It was the last booth available, so I'm glad we reserved in advance. We got started with soft, warm, and delicious complimentary bread, and had the caprese antipasti and a half-bottle of the house Sauvignon Blanc. The caprese was very fresh, and not heavy on the oil & balsamic. I ordered the Gnocchi Loren, and my date had the Lobster and Shrimp Tortellini. Both were delicious, and the portion size was big enough to feel satisfied, and small enough not to have leftovers. We finished off the evening with a small glass of Porto from the dessert menu.

I had the vegetariano for my entree--a tube pasta in a tomato sauce base with several different vegetables sliced into chunks and all cooked to perfection. Our waiter also offered to sprinkle parmigiano-reggiano onto my dish--just what I had been wanting! Our meals came with a single, medium-sized loaf of bread, as well as olive oil, olive slices, and balsamic vinaigrette for dipping. We had the spumoni for desert, which is a molded gelato made with layers of different colors and flavors, containing candied fruits and nuts. The flavors were chocolate, strawberry, and pistachio. The presentation was 10/10, although the desert was perhaps not as good as my entree. The staff was genial and never made me wait on them.

I would give this restaurant a 5 star, were it not for the pretty bad patch job on the seats of the booths. It just looks a bit tacky and it detracts from the otherwise very nice place, with good service and good food. The owner is very personable and it's always a pleasant experience coming here. It's a nice local hangout.
