Came here for Valentine’s Day and it was the best food we’ve had here for sure. We ordered the rigatoni alla vodka pasta without bacon, burrata con prosciutto, and the chicken parmesan with spaghetti which was on a special menu. For dessert we ordered the vulcano. Everything was a 10/10, the service was great and the food as well. Would definitely recommend.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Wow, just wow! We went for dinner on a Thursday with no reservations and they seated us right away. I would recommend reservations because it was still quite busy. Definitely a dinner spot for business crowds. Our server was top notch, best dining service experience I've had in quite a while. Our drinks came out quickly - recommend the Tiki Taormina (if you like tropical rum drinks). For dinner we had a New York steak (phenomenon flavor and cooked to perfection - would give Ruth's Chris Steakhouse a run for it's money) and the Parppadelle alla Norcino Con Pollo (egg pasta with grilled chicken, porcini & champignon mushrooms, and truffle oil, in a grana padano-cream sauce) and I could eat it every night for dinner. I am not a mushroom person, but this was a dish where the mushrooms added to the flavor and the cream sauce was the standout. The grilled chicken was so tasty it made me wonder if it was cooked in butter. Throw in some scrumptious bread and I am ready to go back for dinner now! Thank you for the wonderful evening! Your staff and food truly made it memorable.

This restaurant has been there since the 1960's! It was our #1 favorite for atmosphere and service. My husband is from Italy and it surprised us both that our waiter was from Italy 🇮🇹 😄 And they were able to chat in Italian! So cool! Andrea was our waiter and he was the BEST! I recommend you request him! They have AUTHENTIC ITALIAN dishes. The seafood was amazing and the only way to have a pizza is woodfire oven! After eating AUTHENTIC Italian pizza you will never want to go back to American style!
