Truly outstanding food. Very friendly service. The gnocchi was amazing and I don't even like gnocchi! Had the chicken picatta also was perfectly prepared. We shared a pizza too which also delicious. The only drawback was it was warm in the restaurant but I wouldn't let that keep me from returning.

Great little spot for chicken piccata. I really enjoyed the canolli and crème brûlée as well. Service was excellent and so was the atmosphere.
