Great service! They bring bread to the table before the meal. I ordered the pesto gnocchi which I thought could have used a bit more flavor. My boyfriend got spinach ravioli, which he loved.

First timer this past weekend. We were presently surprised by the service and food.

So sad it took me so many years to find this place when I am only 20+ minutes awa ... read more

The food was great, service was great and very timely. The prices were a bit much for the quality, however it was made up in for volume. Definitely give this place a try if your looking to try something new!

My husband and decided to go here for date night. After having lived in the area for a little over 5 years we wanted to try something new. We definitely were not disappointed.

Best authentic Italian cuisine in NH and one of the best I've been to in New England, and that includes little Italy in Boston and NYC. Service was excellent, friendly employees and we may have actually had the owners' daughter serve us as she spoke with an Italian accent. The food was excellent!! I will definitely be going back ... read more
