Elevated Italian Dining in the Heart of Norwalk

“First time here, and very impressed. This is one of those situations of not judging a book by its cover. The outside does not have much cub appeal but so much charm inside cute little dinning area. Even a tented outdoor seating. Drinks and food were amazing. Very good selection, sometimes for everyone. Highly Highly recommend the creme burulee! The crust was so crispy and the eggs were set perfectly! My only real negative aspect was the over eager bus staff. You had to gard you plate if you didn't want it cleared.”

“While I understand many customers enjoy their experience, our two visits over the last month were extremely disappointing. During our second visit, our group of four experienced several issues with the quality of the food. We ordered a $56 steak medium-rare, but it was served well-done. After sending it back, the second steak we received was completely raw and cold on the inside. At that point, we did not feel comfortable requesting a third attempt. Additionally, while the pasta in the pasta and clams dish was good, the clams were rubbery and seemed as though they had been frozen and reheated. My wife’s meal was over-saturated with butter, and my chicken Parmesan was mediocre at best. I would like to mention that our waiter, Christian, was very nice and professional. However, we were disappointed that no further action was taken to rectify the situation. One suggestion offered was for us to take the raw steak home to cook it further, which was not an option as we were staying in a hotel. Given these experiences, we do not plan on returning. I wanted to bring these matters to your attention in hopes that they might be addressed for future guests.”

“I’m so happy that we found this little gem yesterday! It was perfect! My husband ordered the veal and I had the basic spaghetti and meatballs because the pasta was handmade which makes all the difference. The pasta was AWESOME!!! The bread and pita crusts served with the garlic oil were also perfect. And the spinach salad with poached pears was delicious. We didn’t have room for dessert at that time, but we weren’t going to not try dessert so we ordered cannoli’s to go. We thoroughly enjoyed them in our room later that night! Highly recommend this restaurant!!!”

“I am so happy that we found this little gem yesterday! The food was absolutely delectable and the ambiance was mellow and calming. My husband had the veal and I had a more basic dish since the pasta is homemade/handmade which makes all the difference in the world. The spaghetti was so AWESOME! Not only were the main dishes perfect, the bread and pita crisps along with the garlic oil were very satisfying. The spinach and poached pear salad was scrumptious also. We were so full that we couldn’t eat dessert right away, but we weren’t not going to miss out on a potentially superb dessert so we ordered Cannoli’s to go. We enjoyed them in our room later and they were divine. Highly recommend this restaurant and if we are ever to visit this area again, we will surely dine there!!!”

“This place is amazing. Michelle provides great service and makes amazing cocktails! Atmosphere is beautiful and the food is fantastic, the chicken Marsala especially! Love everything from the garlic oil with bread when you sit down to the music in this laid back but romantic setting. Highly recommended!”
