    Just go here and eat all of the things. Specifically, gnocchi, mussels, and butternut squash ravioli! Om nom! Lady and the tramp would be proud of the romantic atmosphere <3

    The pappardelle al cinghiale and the bucatini all'amatriciana were both awesome but the pacherri was voted the best amongst our group. Got the feeling that you can't go wrong here.

    People complain about the service but its much like the service in Italy. The food is amazing. Gnocchi and tiramisu are a must. Everything else- just as amazing. Fav spot in town for Italian.

    made a last minute rez here and was very pleasantly suprised by the delicious, fresh food - esp ravioli, which tasted made-from-scratch.

    Pappardelle doesn't cost the price in menu... Not good :( also, pasta with seafood - I don't recommend - mussels were really bad-made !! Nice atmosphere but not for these plates... Sorry!

    The boar ragu lacks depth that you'd expect from a ragu.
