It was a long time ago that I ate here, but something I do remember eating was the baked brie with garlic appetizer. I am a cheese lover and a garlic lover, so the combination of the two was a dream. I think because I ate so much of that, I don’t remember what my entree was or how it was.

The place itself is this cute little Italian restaurant, with brightly colored decor. I think it’s family run, and the service was friendly. It can get crowded, because I’ve tried to go there before only to turn away because of the long wait. So make reservations!

This tiny little restaurant is often overlooked by passersby. There aren’t really any clearly visible signs for the restaurant and I didn’t even know the name of the place until I walked inside. And once you’re in, the place will most likely be packed. Reservations are a must to avoid waiting for a table.

As for the food, there’s a good selection of pastas but the most memorable dish is the baked brie appetizer. It comes out on a hot skillet topped with roasted garlic accompanied by freshly baked bread. I was never a fan of cheese plates before, but this dish has converted me into a fan of brie and will keep me coming back.

The ambience has a bit of a romantic mood to it with the dim lighting and the warm & cozy atmosphere. Most patrons here are couples with 2 or 3 booths for small groups.

The Gelato (Pomegranate and Pecan) was excellent. The Tiramisu was pretty good, the home-made pasta was nothing to write home about, nor were the appitizers (melted brie with garlic, and the antipasto). Had that been it, then for the price I might have gone back just because the atmosphere was so great. But the service sucked.
