A cute, rustic italian spot with husband/wife owners who run the joint. Well-plated traditional options and delicious wine! You won't find pizza (or a ton of vegetarian main dishes) here, but it's got a sweet backyard with string lights that's great for families.

They open from about 7 AM to 10 PM and are very friendly! They also have an ATM and a good beer selection.
