“ ** STAFF WAS AMAZING!** We had a GREAT time for an early vday dinner. It was our first time here and we began with the arancini and the sausage/broccoli rabe special. The red sauce that came with the arancini was phenomenal. For entrees, we had shrimp scampi and the lobster gnocchi (sub spinach/personal preference). It was the perfect portion and delicious. Very reasonably priced and the staff was so nice/welcoming! We will definitely be back! ”
“ Small cozy restaurant. It was empty when we got there at 6pm on a Sunday night. But the food was good, freshly cooked, portions on a smaller size. Our server was very friendly and suggested main courses for us. I would come back again. A little pricey. ”
“ Family owned, BYOB Italian restaurant in Hatboro exceeded all expectations! Friends threw out the suggestion and we just never thought about going. Bad choice on our part, should have gone much sooner. Olivia was our server, informative, attentive but not overwhelming. I had one of the specials, cod with crab and capers in a wine sauce with corn risotto, which was delicious. The flavors were perfect. My husband had the chicken Marsala which he truly enjoyed and they did not add flour to keep it gluten free. Most definitely will return. Be advised that reservations help as it’s a smaller restaurant as well as BYOB. Definitely will go again! ”
“ Loved trying this spot! BYOB Their shrimp scampi special was out of this world. Staff was so friendly and kind. I forgot my purse on the way out and the waitress ran out to our car with it! ”
“ Really enjoyed our meal here today. Food was delicious. Emily was a fantastic server!!!! We’ll be back! ”
“ Been here now a few times. Very consistent, which is exactly what I look for in a restaurant before I write a review. Ambiance is great in here. My waitress Livia was absolutely wonderful , on top of it. Place gets 5 stars, looking forward on making this my place for Italian food when I’m down here. ”
“ From the moment you arrive it’s a beautifully modern decorated interior with a semi-open kitchen and many tables for small or large parties, but no booth seating. The hostess was very welcoming, and the staff was super attentive. Our waitress Faye was wonderful, telling us about the tantalizing specials which we ended up having, all the food was delicious and looked as good as it tasted. The arugula salad with burrata cheese, grilled peach and cherries and pistachio nuts was amazing followed by a beautiful piece of grouper with seared shrimp on top and an amazing citrus sauce with a corn risotto all tasted absolutely delicious. Looking forward to our next meal there as it was hard to decide what to eat. The menu is vast with a lot of delicious sounding choices! ”
