Seriously delicious. The menu is small, but that makes it easy to choose something that they’re going to do REALLY well. It was one of those meals where you can’t help but give everyone else’s food a try. They absolutely killed it. Great space, great service, I’ll be thinking about that meal for the next week.

The location is fantastic, inside the restaurant is clean and inviting...The owner, Francesco and his wife are just lovely.
Our group had the gnocchi, the chicken parm and the lasagna and absolutely everything was divine. Rich sauces, pillowy gnocchi, the best chicken parm I have ever had. We finished our meal feeling satisfied, not overly stuffed. Just perfect.
We had the tiramisu for dessert which was light, airy, deliciously creamy.
We will most definitely be back to support this small business and the beautiful family who run it.

We stopped in during a recent visit to Washington (we live in Canada) and were very impressed by the amazing food and friendly service here. We will definitely be back!
