"This locally owned Italian restaurant has been bursting at the seams with hungry diners since it opened in Dorchester in May of 2023. The space is small and romantic, featuring a gallery wall of oil paintings, a bar spilling over with luscious plants, and a comforting olive-green color scheme. The menu boasts handmade pizzas and pastas native to chef Stefano Quaresima’s Italian hometown Anzio. Plus, a meal here comes with a live love story: Quaresima and his wife Tsedenia Kiros co-run the restaurant and it was their romance that launched the trattoria." - Celina Colby, Valerie Li Stack, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
