Tatiana Cellini: Authentic Italian food!The bucatini is my favorite pasta; linguine vongole is always delicious. Start out with the buratta and prosciutto. Don't forget the cheesecake for dessert!
Elizabeth Burstein: Mushroom & truffle fettucine. B had the peas and creamy fettucine. Both 8/10. Dates (10) + mango/goat cheese app-9. Really good in terms of qual + price but bar was cramped. Ricota cheesecake OK
Fabian Martin: Fantastic & cute small Italian restaurant. The black truffle gnocchi was perfect and the ricotta cheesecake blew me away! Strong recommendation and great date spot! Try the Riesling
