Walked by this place on our way back to our apartment, and we picked up on the friendly and collegial neighborhood vibe. I picked up a business card, and we made a reservation for dinner the next night.
When we arrived, they had our table outside reserved. We ordered wine, and since it was so hot, they brought out an ice "bucket" which as actually a plastic gift style bag--cute idea! The wine list has great variety and a range of prices. We ordered a more expensive bottle of Avellino, the best we have had so far!
We had two bruschetta for antipasti: one mackerel and another with anchovies. Both were incredible!! We also had the octopus potato croquette which was everyone's favorite at the table. For dinner, we shared two pastas: one was green fettuccini with raw shrimp, and the other was spaghetti with octopus. The pastas were perfectly cooked with flavorful sauces. We also shared a Margherita pizza, which had an excellent crust and very flavorful cheese and basil.
Our waiter, Simone, brought us some digestivo out for after dinner on the house! Very authentic experience, as the menu is in Italiano, but they have an English version you can download on your phone. We would go back!!
