Try the bruschetta and arancini antipasti. The sauce for the arancini is a must-have.
The sesame tuna was excellent. Pastas were fresh and home made. Great little neighborhood trattoria.
Their pizza is quite good! Also the house salad is a great addition to the pizza.
Their Fettuccine Bolognese is excellent. I also really like their arugula salad.
The tripe is excellent. You must try it. They have half orders
The tripe is amazing. But so is everything else
Coffee is imported from Italy as is the chef. Saw seinfeld here once while in for dinner. They always fit regulars in if they can
Very large specials menu highlighting the freshness of the food. All the pastas are delicious! Very lively and warm environment.
Jason runs a great front of the house. Best bet is to order off of the daily special menu. Killer antipasto and entrees everyday. Great food any day of the week; Riccardo does it right!
Aside from rich pastas dripping with sauce, the star of the menu is the cotoletta alla Milanese, a breaded veal chop served with arugula and grape tomatoes.
Go for the tasting menu: three course meal and you can pretty much choose from the regular menu
#1 Zagat rated for Northern Italian for a reason; everything was excellent
O peixe branzino é muito bom!
The Panna Cotta is amazing - a must have dessert!
Pastas are a must, notably the veal ravioli with creamy porcini meat sauce and spaghetti chitarra carbonara. Save room for panna cotta with passion fruit coulis. Fairly priced Italian wines.
This neighborhood trattoria is known for its charming Italian staff and authentic Italian food. Be sure to try one of the nightly specials; they are always delicious. - Inspector
Riccardo is an amazing chef. The veal osso buco with saffron risotto is amazing.
Zagat tested; Borgia approved!
Don't miss the hazelnut gelati!
