This one-man operation has it's plusses and minuses but not enough to give less than 5 stars. Seating and wait times can be a deterrent for some but please don't let that stop you. The freshest hand made pasta is the best we've had outside of Rome (we had the ravioli and fettuccine). IMO If you name your restaurant after a specific menu item, it better be pretty damn good. Well I'm happy to say that the tiramisu is absolutely fantastic as well! Everyone that was there when we were was happy with everything ordered. This is amazing in itself considering this is literally one man doing everything. Drinks, service, cooking, cleaning. Much deserved of the 5 stars for effort alone but the food by itself would compell most...

I personally like the fettuccine carbonara or alio olio e pepperoncino. His tiramisu is very good. It is assembled right before serving so it is not soggy. His meringues are done perfectly. I also recommend his rosemarry panna cotta as well as his beignets.
For those who eat meat his meatballs are quite good with an excellent texture. The new location is in a locals neighborhood in Esterito with shade and fans for hot days. I will miss his sage...
Read moreI love Maurizio's passion: passion for food and cooking, for the local culture, for his own Scottish-Italian heritage and his wife's Mexican heritage, and for life in general. I'm honestly not crazy about every single flavor I've tried here but that's to be expected (and I still am working my way through the menu!) but I am crazy about supporting this lovely human being and his cooking adventures. I particularly appreciate his freshly made pastas, sauces, and infused olive oils. Oh, and you mustn't forget to sample ALL the desserts, lol. I'm so glad that he moved to this location as it's a wonderful space, in a lively neighborhood. I look forward to continuing to try more...
