Truthfully I'm a little confused on the hype of this place. The food wasn't bad (in fact I'd say their meatball was one of the most tender ive ever had) but everything else was mid. The pasta itself was overcooked, the menu was very basic, and the sauces lacked depth. I'm happy we gave it a try but the food really felt on par with some of the bigger italian chain restaurants.

This place arguably has the best Italian food in Manchester. The pasta is from scratch, the seasoning is always on point and they always have rotating specials that are so choice. Entrees come with a salad and bread. The cocktails are made solid. The service is typically on the slower side; dinner takes about 1.5-2 hours (maybe to capture the authentic Italian experience? Pictured is their stuffed pork tenderloin special with prosciutto, fontina and a mushroom sauce with risotto. Make a reservation before coming here!

More of a formal dining experience. Everything was great and reasonably priced. Tables are rather small so you sit very close together so if you have lefties and righties plan accordingly Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Pollo Parmigiana
