Sample reviews for this concept site
“We came for an anniversary and stayed until they stacked the chairs. The agnolotti alone is worth the drive from Southport.”
“My daughter has celiac. They made her a fresh gluten-free rigatoni and walked us through the kitchen setup. Nobody does that.”
“Booked the back room for my dad's 70th. Twenty-two of us, family-style, came in under budget. He still talks about the lasagne.”

Before you ask
Do you take walk-ins?
Yes. We keep the 12 bar seats for walk-ins every night until 9pm. Weeknights you'll rarely wait more than 15 minutes.
Can you handle allergies and gluten-free?
We make a separate gluten-free dough on its own board and cook it in fresh water. Tell us about allergies when you book and your server will walk you through every dish.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancel free up to 2 hours before by replying to your confirmation text. For the back room we ask for 48 hours' notice.
Is there parking?
Free street parking after 6pm on Marigold Lane and a municipal lot 2 minutes away. The 2 and 20 buses stop at the corner.
Is it good for kids?
Very. High chairs, crayons on the paper tablecloths, and kids under 10 eat pasta free on Sundays.
