The authenticity of this local Italian favorite rests on traditional family recipes passed down from the Old Country. It features a full bar, happy hour, lunch specials, take out and large party services. Dark and romantic, it is the perfect spot to fall in love over a plate of pasta. The wait staff is attentive and never intrusive. Homemade breads and pastas are tender and delicious. Order the potato dumpling gnocchi in the pesto sauce generously dished and risk losing control. Yes, it is that good. You will love the reasonably priced appetizers, personal pizzas, entrees and deserts. The wine list includes California and Italian selections.
