Tucked away in a nondescript strip mall, the exterior of this "impeccably Italian" restaurant is deceiving. The interior is stunning, warm, and comfortable--possibly due to the wood-burning stove-oven in the center of the dining room. Framed oil prints hang from the white stucco walls and the floor is covered in slate tiles and some carpeting. The kitchen is open, allowing diners to view the kitchen staff hard at work. Homemade pastas and cheeses are the specialties, and everything on the menu is made from scratch.
