As long as Italian chefs are cooking Italian food, it's always delicious. The owner couple is very friendly. The special spaghetti recommended by the owner's wife that day did not disappoint me. The dining environment is warm and simple. They also have a stamp card, and you can choose to keep it yourself or let the restaurant keep it for you, which is really cute.
The prosciutto sandwich was so authentic and so so good. For the price, I don't think you can get anything like it nearby. Such a gem of a spot. It's still not very busy, but I'm hoping word of mouth let's others know great their food is!
I am an Italian living in Canada and I am always very picky and careful about the products I eat. This place has great, Italian, fresh ingredients. When an Italian cooks you can taste the difference. Both the pasta and the sandwiches are spectacular. I had a sandwich with pecorino cream, sun-dried tomatoes and prosciutto -- finally a prosciutto that doesn't taste like a plastic bag. Very friendly staff and owners have a big heart.
I eat here weekly, and it never disappoints. The owners are fantastic people: warm, welcoming, and always friendly. Their freshly baked bread is amazing and the lunch specials are great and a good price for downtown.
This is the most authentic Italian food I've had, home away from home. True Italian flavours, the pasta sauces are amazing. I recommend their Roman pork jerky coppiette, a delicacy! A great Roman takeaway I'd recommend to anyone.
