What a great little find... Family run and serving delicious food in an unpretentious atmosphere. When our server started off with "today for the special my mom made her paparadelle...." we knew found a winner. Not only was the food wonderful, but the service was good and the prices were reasonable. If only I didn't live 2500 miles away this would be a regular stop for me.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. In between tourist traps you will find this small family owned and operated slice of heaven. The appetizers are spot on, pasta dishes are made-to-order, and the tiramisu is light and flavorful! Great service, friendly atmosphere and dishes that’ll have you coming back!

Probably the best Italian food I’ve had outside of Italy. Absolutely delicious with a homely atmosphere. Family owned and operated, the chef being an Italian mom. Homemade pasta, homemade Alfredo sauce with every order, homemade desserts and a whole bunch of other things. Authentic, cute, and very filling. Highly recommend.

This place is great. Some of the best Italian food my wife and I have had. Outstanding flavor, due to everything being homemade and fresh. We had the giant prawns sautéed with butter, lemon and garlic with homemade pasta and a Caesar salad. Then we shared the tiramisu. All of it was incredibly good. Great service by the staff as well. A great family run restaurant. We highly recommend this place. We come here when we go into city. This place never disappoints. Always incredibly great tasting food.

The bruschetta, prosciutto as well as tomatoes & mozzarella appetizers tasted great! The lobster stuffed ravioli in cream sauce was delicious! I enjoyed the small intimate setting. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone in search of great Italian cuisine!

Amazing food each time! Been coming here for the last 4 years and it never disappoints. Fettuccine Alfredo is delicious and my absolute favorite dish here but everything else is great too! The place is small and family run, very welcoming atmosphere. Desserts are yummy too if you have room after all the pasta.

When the waitress said she recommended the pasta dish that her mom made that day, I knew I was in the right place. I wasn't disappointed.

We went for dinner here with friends. We had a great night with excellent food and service. Caters well for gluten free. Nonna is a beautiful and caring person who knows how to add the personal touch to your night out.
