“A truly small but beautiful Italian restaurant with only a handful of tables, but incredible quality. The cheese wheel pasta was the highlight — perfectly cooked, not soft at all, with every strand coated in rich cheese and sauce without being salty or heavy. The Capesante (scallops) were outstanding: large, beautifully seared, and extremely fresh.”
