Absolutely delicious, authentic Italian food served hot and fresh, and bursting with flavour! I’m so glad we found this place, I will be recommending it to people I know and will be coming back here again soon. The service was also beyond exceptional. With a vibrant and boisterous atmosphere, this is the place to go on a Friday for dinner! I’ve been to Italy and have travelled across Europe, and the food here still impressed me. Very well done, Luisa Risto!!!

Ed is the best!
Right from the first moment, we called to book a reso, they offered a set time but also said we could come early and sit at the bar to enjoy a drink before our table was ready. They advised about the ample parking in the back. We arrived and were greeted with nothing but EXCELLENT service. We couldn't decide what to order but Ed helped us. We picked two items and he chose for us. I cannot stress how absolutely amazing this experience was. I will always recommend someone to check out this place.
We had the aracini balls, the artisnal bread for appys. Cannelloni and lasagna for dinner - monster lasagna and huge canelloni. For dessert we had the cheese cake flight. Three kinds. The pina colada, chocolate and new York with blueberry compote. TO DIE FOR. I dont really like coconut but that pina colada cheesecake was the most amazing tasting thing ever.

Very busy place due to limited space. Best to make a reservation. We had a table outside, it was perfect. Good weather. The food was delicious. However, the Margherita pizza wasn't as flavorful as the pasta's. Good service and friendly staffs.

I took my staff for our fall staff party last night and all 12 of us loved our food. From appetizers to dessert it was all amazing! If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you Ed for going above and beyond to accommodate our big group. We will all be back! Your staff are fantastic!!!

This was our first time here, after reading wonderful reviews. Luisa doesn't disappoint. The food was bursting with flavor and we had the warm chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Heavenly!!! It was our anniversary, and the owner not only gave us excellent service, a lovely card, but also his terrific sense of humor. The prices are excellent along with every bite of food. This will be a regular place for us from now on 🙂

We had dinner here for our anniversary. We didn't have a reservation since it was a spontaneous trip to the area, but we still got seated immediately 😊

Our server was really nice and always made sure we were comfy and enjoying our meal. We ordered a lot just to try them out lol the portions are large, maybe good for 2 people each plate.

Orders:
Espresso martini
Luisa spritz
Calamari
Meat lover's pizza 🍕 😋
Lasagna
Carbonara
Tiramisu

Everything was delicious! Calamari melts in your mouth. Drinks were perfect as recommended. We'll be going back next time to try the other items in the menu.

We had a party of 8 last night. Our meal was outstanding. The pescatori was amazing! There was a lot of seafood, muscles, shrimp and scallops. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. The service was exceptional. Only draw back is it’s very noisy, so just keep that in mind. Very highly recommend. Thank you
