This place is the real deal if you want authentic Italian food. The sauce is the best I've ever had. All of the ingredients are fresh. Dishes are perfectly seasoned. Chicken is tender, pasta extraordinary. The mixed drinks are incredible (bartender is fantastic). Not a huge menu, but everything is superb. You guys should be really proud of what you've become. We are from NYC and we find ourselves craving your food and drinks.
