4.0This upscale deli is owned by a real Italian chef who brought his family’s treasured recipes from Venice. (He’s such a genial guy that he will tell you his life story if he’s not too busy…)
The food here is fresh, light, and incredibly delicious. The deli meats are of the highest quality and the chef makes his own procuitto. The pasta is fresh and made on premises.
I frequently share one of the fabulous sandwich creations or pasta specials with my teenage daughter and then we split dessert. Definitely save room for dessert! The ricotta cheesecake is “to die for.”
When the deli opened a couple of years ago, there were only a couple of cafe tables to accommodate the few “eat in” patrons. Since then, the restaurant has expanded and diners congregate at little tables tightly pressed together in a charming art-filled dining room. Nowadays, the place is almost always packed.
I love this place because it offers authentic Italian “cafe food” at a reasonable price in a charming atmosphere. This is not a place for a romantic tete-a-tete with your beloved, nor is it a place for small children, but it is a great place to meet a friend or two for a light meal. BYOB!

2.0This restaurant is ok. The food is very good but the service is very slow and we could hear the chef yelling at the server that “this isn’t a diner” when they asked where our food was. We were the only diners there. Not sure I’d be back to eat in but might get take out.
Perfectly prepared
