Charming, fresh and delicious Italian food that transported me to Italy. I stopped in this restaurant because I was trying to pay my bill, unsuccessfully, at CFE and had a bit of time before I had to work so I saw a sign in the window for a breakfast special so I decided to treat myself to a sit-down meal.

Read moreI am so disappointed. We went here tonight for the first time with great expectations based on reviews. Now don't get me wrong, my entree was all right but it wasn't what I ordered.
