    This is a great spot to enjoy an authentic, fresh, and delicious meal. The private patio is very nice for outside dining. My friend and I both ordered salads and homemade pastas. We will definitely be back. Just perfect!

    2nd time there, much better the first time. Went the day after Thanksgiving and they continued to offer Thanksgiving Day menu specials only a day later. Had the veal osso buco and server said it was cooked that day but did not taste fresh and it sat in a pile of brown gravy, not very appealing. The desert menu comes printed with glossy pictures and screams "frozen" and tasted that way. We were 1 of 3 tables occupied so no atmosphere.

    A very nice little hidden gem in Totowa. A nice blend of traditional and more creative Italian dishes that were very well prepared. Service was friendly and helpful. The owner visits each table to say hello and check on things. A warm comfortable atmosphere and food you will enjoy.
