Reviews
"Had the scallop app, cacio e pepe, and friend had bolognese. loved all of it. flavorful and fresh ingredients. stellar friendly service. gelatos were good and cheesecake was amazing!"
"Wonderful place to meet friends for dinner and drinks. We sat upstairs at a quiet table. Excellent service all around. I recommend the Funghi E Verdure for mushroom lovers."
"We grabbed a late lunch today and had a lovely meal! Quick service, nice staff, and a quaint little spot. I see a lot of people complaining about prices, but to me they are pretty on par for the area and the quality. Our lunch portion was plentiful and we left full and happy! My husband got the Spicy Calabrese with caserecce and I did the Ravioli. The flavors were explosive and full of levels. The brown butter sauce spectacular. They served our bread, which was the right amount for our party of 3 and then some. I highly recommend having a meal here!"
"Stumbled upon this place while in the area and was pleasantly surprised with the entire meal, service, and ambiance. We tried the arancini which were tasty. I wish there was a bit more sauce on the plate more than the decoration so I could actually taste it with the dish. I got the cacio e pepe, but also tried the ravioli and bolognese. Out of all the dishes, the bolognese was my favorite. The sauce was very tasty and fresh and the noodles were perfectly cooked! The ravioli was super decadent and the Swiss chard-ricotta filling was a fun color and surprise when you cut into it. The cacio e pepper was also great, I really enjoyed the fresh black pepper. It was aromatic and made the dish have a nice spicy flavor. My main issue was the noodles were a bit too al dente for me. We also tried the Tiramisu for dessert and that was delectable. The coffee was perfectly soaked in the ladyfingers and the layered cream was not too sweet. I really enjoyed this meal overall and to top it off all the servers were very attentive, kind, and helped to create a great atmosphere."
"Really great Italian place with unique dishes. I highly recommend the calamari which deviated from the rinse and repeat fried calamari you can find elsewhere. Also the lobster pasta was incredibly flavorful and aromatic."
