Trey was a fantastic and attentive server with incredible recommendations. The cauliflower appetizer was the best cauliflower we’d ever had and the pappardelle pasta was the best bite of the evening. The tiramisu and rice pudding crème brûlée were also fantastic. The campanelle nere was a tiny bit spicy but the flavor was incredible and the lasagna was 10/10.

Ordered takeout, really good margherita pizza. Would rate 4.5 if I could. Nice crisp crust, good tomato base and soft mozzarella. But to my liking it was a bit too salty. That’s most food in the US though. Will be coming back to try in person!
