Good selection of well cooked home made pastas. Deserts here are also very good. Only downside to this place is it has limited seating, can be pretty hard to get a table on Friday or Saturday.

This is our new hidden gem! I didn’t want to leave a review because I don’t want this place so packed I can’t get any food sorry, I’m selfish! I wish I took photos, next time I will, but this place is GOOD!!! Everything we ordered was amazing. The dessert was just as good! Plenty of food for leftovers. Customer service was remarkable especially in today’s world where this seems to be lacking! highly recommend

Upon entering, we received a warm and uplifting greeting from the staff. Our waitress, Deja, exemplified exceptional courtesy, engagement, and expertise in menu offerings, providing inspired recommendations that embarked us on a delightful culinary journey featuring classic lasagna, spaghetti, and the recommended pear and cheese ravioli, all of which were rich in flavor and exceptional. Notably, the generously proportioned serving sizes were perfectly suited for sharing. We would visit this place again!

Small restaurant with seating for maybe 20. It's in the industrial side of town. Very confusing location , until you take that first bite. Then it all makes sense. The free bread with olive oil was good. Nothing special. The mozzarella sticks also fine. Definitely fresh made in house. But not crazy good The pink sauce pasta was 10/10 stars. Finger licking good. It all makes sense now. Wow. 5 stars isn't enough.

The food was fresh made from scratch with quality, patience and love. Dinning area felt homey not too snazzy but not to drab. Give serious family owned feeling.service was kind informative and courteous. I asked many questions it being my first visit the young lady helping us was more the happy to assist in my decision. Everything is made in house sauce, pasta, bread, and deserts.

Extremely good food. Every dish we ordered was top quality and taste. The pear and cheese ravioli with brown sugar and garlic sauce was just unreally good. The French onion soup was easily the best I have ever had. The staff is also incredibly nice and welcoming. The desserts were, once again, probably the best dessert I've ever had. Carmel apple cheesecake and pistachio cheesecake. Absoukte must visit restraunt. We like 22 minutes away and would gladly do it again for how great it is!

Great quaint Italian restaurant near the 99. We stopped in on our drive north. What a treat. The service was prompt and friendly, the assortment of homemade pastas was incredible. The food was delicious— just right. And the dessert was very tasty! We tried the hazelnut cake this time. We would love to come again on another trip.
