At our restaurant, you’ll experience food prepared according to Old World traditions straight from the heart of Italy – the birthplace of our founder, Angelo Elia. Born in Salerno, Italy, Angelo was first taught to cook by his mother in their home kitchen. Both of his parents (his father was a local butcher) instilled in him the importance of using only locally gathered meats and fish, growing garden-fresh herbs, and baking breads from scratch. Angelo hand-selects the freshest, seasonal ingredients and artfully prepares them in an inviting setting of warmth and sophistication. A carefully curated list of wines has been masterfully chosen to create an extensive wine list from every region around the world. Whether it’s for an elegant night out or a gathering with family & friends, Chef Angelo Elia looks forward to inviting guests for an authentic Italian Tuscan-style meal in a setting that feels like home.

This restaurant was so accomodating to our party and made the birthday of my friend very special. The food was hot and tasted great. But most importantly was the service! We changed our party size like three times and they were overly gracious and accommodating. Its a small space but it felt like a private dinner party and was cozy and warm. Our waitress was awesome and even though we were a party of 10, drinks and food came out very quickly. I would definitely eat here again!
