2nd floor, 2 top on the balcony near the bar , very intimate and private little table. Absolutely do not leave without trying the Gelato . Bacio is my favorite. Excellent food all around.

Amanda Finn

Everything here was amazing ! Got the eggplant app and the pasta we did without speck and added shrimp soooo gooooood ! Coffee and drinks were also delicious and unique

Rachel Meadows

Very confusing ordering process for gelato (after you know what you want, walk midway to the back & order size and pay. Then walk back to gelato & order your flavor). But, the gelato is well worth it.

Cozy , welcoming staff and delicious foods. Almond croissant , Napoli coffee ☕ and gelato are a must.

Carol

The gelato is so creamy and delicious. Can be romantic too for couples. There were a lot of people in their 35-50s. The affogato could’ve had more gelato ...

Michael Hicks

Quality food, small portions, great gelato dessert options (enjoyed the pistachio ), personalized bday treatment. Overall great, however menu can be overwhelming to sift through

Papardella al Ragu Aquilano is outstanding!!!! Perfect balance to emphasize pasta and dance with sauce

Larisa Grollemond

Amazing gelato , and even some creative dishes with savory gelato . The menu is overcrowded but focus on the pastas and the extensive wine list !

Chris McGillicuddy

Highly recommend trying the gelato and a cappuccino ! It's a very authentic Italian Café/Restaurant.

First floor seating is pretty casual vibe , upstairs is a little fancier. Request to add truffle gelato with the gnocchi . You won't regret
