"Lovely italian! we had a great dinner, with every bite, we could feel it's a family owned restaurant, among everything, even the bread was excellent."

"It just doesn’t get more authentic Italian than this place. The owner who is a worldly lady with a million stories to share, personally comes to greet you and ensures you are having a good time. Her daughter who is also the server and seating hostess will give you great recommendations about the food. I’ve had gnocchi many times but never one made out of spinach and not potatoes, it was a hit and definitely worth ordering. A small place with a homely vibe and welcoming atmosphere, a great space for anyone wanting a good wholesome meal."

"This family owned corner of New Haven is such a gem. Anna- the owner- is so full of life & so kind. This isn’t just a restaurant- it’s an experience. From the wines, to the atmosphere, to each handmade dish, you could tell this is a labor of love. The antipasti board was delicious. We got two special pastas- one with black truffle cream sauce and sausage, the other with herbs and olive oil- the carbonara, and the bolognese. The porchetta with potatoes was perfectly crisp. The quality of ingredients is there, and it makes a difference! A really unique and wonderful place for dinner but be aware that it’s not the way to go for a quiet dinner- this one is lively and loud and colorful! (For pricing, that included appetizers and two bottles of wine for four people)"

"The experience here is very homey! The owner is so cute and there's great entertainment. The apps were delicious, and the cheeseboard was with fig jam was excellent. The bread also comes out warm. The pastas are great and focused on high quality ingredients. The truffle special was so delicious and well balanced. Highly recommend coming here for great Italian food if you're comfortable with family style!"
