    From the moment we walked in the door I knew this place was going to be special. The hostess was super friendly and accommodating. Our server, Ashley was excellent. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and just down right a cool chick. Being a gluten free individual I was so excited to find a dedicated Italian restaurant and this place did not disappoint. The frito Misto was excellent. I had the mushroom pizza and the baked gnocchi that I shared with my daughter. Both incredible. My husband had the cacio a Pepe with chicken breast on top. Needless to say, everything was outstanding. Wine Wednesday is also a killer deal, a bottle of imported wine for $24? Sold. Highly recommend this place. What a gem.
