The food was truly amazing! I had the rigatoni - as recommended by our wonderful waiter, Ryan - and it was unbelievably good! Make sure you get the buratta and the foccacia as well. My friend had the homemade gnocci that she called "little pillows of heaven". All of the wait staff were so friendly and welcoming. It was my friend's birthday and they had a card for her as well. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend coming here for a great meal!
