We've been coming here since they opened. The food is authentic Italian, not American Italian. There's an old saying that you can always tell a good Italian restaurant by its risotto and that's the case here, with black truffles none the less.

This is a really nice place with a wonderful ambiance, excellent food, and great service.

The owners and every staff member at this restaurant “hosts” their customers with that warm heartfelt “simpatico” persona we all respect and love. Enzo Rosano has done it again. After “Mezza Luna” in Half... More
