“Wish I had found it months ago. In Lakewood 18 months, didn't know it existed. Someone mentioned it. Reservation suggested. I was alone and had a fabulous time. Can't wait to bring friends. This was a first, the owners asked for a selfie with me. Spread joy not hate. 2025.10.31 After trick or treat, went with a close friend. They had a fillet and ravioli special. Although we were not asked how we wanted the steak, I will tell you it was a perfect medium. It's rare (pun intended) that I can finish a steak, but the only things that came home were a couple of ravioli and a bread stick. The tiramisu, gelato and espresso were the perfect end.”
“Cozy like restaurant with very limited seating.... MAKE SURE TO RESERVE A TABLE or you'll be turned away. Food was amazing but due to limited kitchen help it took a little bit longer but it was good because we good time to talk to each other.”
“First time customers and we loved it. This was the chefs special ravioli in a cacio de pepa sauce with a 7 oz filet on top. 10 out of 10. We will be back soon we promise”
