Home made pasta was as advertised and absolutely amazing. Don't know about the amazing list of wines by the glass - there were about ten total which is very average. Service was OK and the place gets a bit noisy. I'd come back for the fresh pasta any day though!

Excellent trattoria, with wonderful homemade gelato and very fresh ingredients. Lasagna Bolognese is wonderful. Service is attentive and sharp. Decor is open and airy, with a broad view of the kitchen work area. This place is a gem and for downtown, the price is surprisingly reasonable for the quality.

The pizza was partially cooked in their artisanal wood oven before putting the clams on top. When they opened, clam juice added another flavor which was wonderful. The crust was thin and excellent--I
