I'd personally rate this place a 4.7 out of 5 but it only allows me to select 4 or 5 stars.
I'm not Dave Portnoy by any stretch of the imagination, but I have a feel for how he'd rate things after seeing hundreds of his videos.
The MARGHERITA PIZZA - Looked like a 12" sized pizza. Good undercarriage, nicely sauced and cheesed. Major flop when held, hardly any crisp. Very flavorful though. I liked it personally. Dave would probably rate it a 7.5, I'd give it a 7.9.
The PAPPARDELLE BOLOGNESE - Nicely sauced, noodles are al dente. Good flavor, similar flavor profile sauce to what was on the Margherita pizza. I'd give it an 8.1.
It's a little pricey, I paid $26 for the pasta and $12 for the pizza, but it's good. Thank you!

The arincini comes with 6 pretty large pieces - stuffed full with ragu and creamy, cheesy rice - and a couple marinara sauces for dipping. Good flavor, great for sharing!

The dish was well-balanced, fresh, and delicious! I ordered the spaghetti with cherry tomato sauce, and it was subtle yet nuanced in flavor, tasteful, of a flawless temperature, and overall divine. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back again and again, thank you!!

Pretty pricey, but this was some of the best pasta I've ever had, and probably the best cannoli as well.

We ordered earlier and they forgot my GNOCCHI PESTO. We called and they went above and beyond to get it to us. They even threw in a free dessert. Also this GNOCCHI PESTO with sausage is fantastic! A must try for sure!
