This place is a hidden GEM! Intimate, cute, cozy, neighborhood feel. Fantastic service, friendly attentive staff. Great prices and BYOB which I love! Amazing fried calamari with banana peppers. Great cesar salad. Entrees were delicious, chicken parmesan and penne granseola. Ordered a side of meatballs, seriously the best we’ve ever had! Took dessert to go, a cannoli and a hazelnut cake that were soooo good. They left little biscotti with the check that were crazy delicious, and had great espresso. We will be back!

Absolutely incredible—top-tier food paired with outstanding service! Every detail was handled with care, and the staff was incredibly attentive to our every need.

5 stars! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend if you’re craving great Italian!

Mamma Rosa got me hooked on her food like a crack addict. I had the Sphagetti with meatballs and Italian sausages. Everything is homemade and absolutely delicious. I will definitely be going back for my fix. I also had the pumpkin cheesecake with nuts. Really good.

Amazing authentic experience. We have brought a group and ordered all of the specials along with dessert and espresso a few times. Luigi and his son take great care of us every time.

Stopped in on a Tuesday evening around 6pm(party of 3)- Seated immediately (the restaurant is the CUTEST)- service was fabulous, our waiter was great and the food came out fresh and piping hot. One of the best dinners/dining experiences I have had! You MUST try the tiramisu for dessert!

WOW! We had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally did last night. All the food was awesome, definitely worth the trip in itself! Service was great, atmosphere is really cute and the owner/chef was so nice. We definitely will be frequenting this gem!
