This was our first meal here. We knew the pasta was highly regarded and wanted a nice sit down environment. We were not disappointed. We had 3 appetizers. The mixed salad was as fresh as it could be. The eggplant very good and the mussels portion was ample very tasty and fresh not fishy. 4 different pasta dishes. The Papardelle with wild braised Boar was outstanding as were the spinach ravioli, Tagliatelle ragu and Carbonara. Deserts very good. We were very pleased driving from Stamford for this meal. This was not Italian- American it was authentic Italian. Would not hesitate to recommend or go back for more.
