Very welcoming and friendly from the moment we walked in. I’d definitely recommend making a reservation - we didn’t have one, but got lucky arriving just after 4 and were able to be seated. By the time we left, they were packed and most tables were reserved. I can absolutely see why. Walking in, the aromas coming from the kitchen are exactly what you want from an Italian restaurant - rich, warm, and instantly comforting. And the bread with dipping oil? Not just a simple starter - it was full of flavor and so delicious it easily stands on its own. (Can I buy this by the pint?! 😉) We started with the artichoke appetizer, which was light, refreshing, and honestly the perfect way to kick things off. Not heavy at all, just clean and flavorful. My husband ordered the chicken Francese with penne, and it was bright, fresh, and full of flavor. He said the chicken was like “air”—super light and perfectly cooked. Only elevation would be homemade pasta. I had the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, and it was everything a comfort dish should be. So fresh, rich without being overwhelming, and packed with fresh herbs that really lifted all the flavors. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. The only small note—tails on in a creamy pasta isn’t ideal—but honestly, the dish was so good it was still completely worth it. Overall, one of those places that just gets it right—from the food to the atmosphere. Definitely going back. Hopefully we will have time for dessert next time. A lot of regulars were in by the time we left, and it was just the best vibe happening.

This has to be some of the best Italian food I have had. I will make sure to take all of my family and friends there. The staff was wonderful.

We have been looking for a good Italian restaurant since our recent favorite left. I must say we have found it, you would not expect it from the outside or location but when you walk in the door the atmosphere is welcoming and transforming. We were immediately greeted and seated by Olive and the owner. The menu offers so much to experience, we chose two veal dishes, Eggplant Rollatini and chicken parmigiana. The veal was superb as a parm and as a piccata. The Rollatini was prepared with a perfect balance of cheese and sauce. The food, bread and staff were spot on with everything. We will be back. Thank you all for a lovely dinner.
