Kate Osborne: The coconut gelato is worth every calorie!!
Joni Bradley: Must order the klug peaches with pistachio cake and gelato! But skip the coffee-I ordered decaf and it must have been old because it was undrinkable.
Andriana Albamonte: Order family style and share! Don't miss the lobster caprese, zucchini fritti, king crab pasta and eggplant parm and dessert! The rice pudding gelato is amazing. Our waiter was great too!

Sue Ellen Tetlak: Everything I ate was awesome, but the raviloli was completely out of this world! The gelato also was amazing!
Christy: Penne alla Vodka all the way, I get it every time! For desserts, coppa al banana, the chocolate cake, the zeppole or the gelato - all are great with their coffee. But really, everything is delicioso!
Zeke Franco: Try the Panino al Gelato Limone - Lemon cream gelato sandwich with lemon curd, whipped cream, & lemon chips. Amazing dessert; the best I've had in a while.
