Our Italian friend recommended that this is only a few places serving genuine Italian dishes so we visited for a pizza but somehow their farro & calamari became our most favorite and made us visit multiple times more. Of course, the pizzas were tasty as well.

Upscale but relaxed Italian fare and small plates venue offering a variety of delicious pastas, plates, pizzas, and hand crafted cocktails. Service is excellent, seating is abundant both indoor and outdoor, and the food is amazing. We especially enjoyed the food and cocktails here. Starting with the drinks, they offer sangria and hand crafted cocktails. The margarita here has an intalian twist but comes highly recommended! The Sangria they had on offer was amazing! All of the food here is excellent as well. If you enjoy pizza, they have a wood fired oven and the pizza is cooked to perfection. We tried the pear and Gorgonzola pizza. It was a perfect blend of sweetness and tartness. Also, the Ravioli here has slow cooker short ribs inside, and it is absolutely to die for! I recommend this place for those looking to have a few small plates and cocktails over conversation. It’s Italian themed but don’t think just pasta here. It’s light, tasty, and fast! 10/10 for this one!

Buffalo mozzarella pizza, not the best, but probably one of the best you can find in the South Bay. The mozzarella fritta, which is the breadcrumbed fried mozzarella was still cold inside. Would recommend to keep them next to the fire for a longer period of time and make the inner mozzarella become stringy and melted. Host waiter was kind 😊 and the outdoor seating was warm.

Good little Italian joint. Food was decent, but not the best. The antipasto plate was the highlight. Lots of variety there. The butternut squash ravioli was good, could have used a little more sage brown butter. Pizza was good and flavorful. Service was decent, although our server didn't quite know the menu. Give this place a shot. It may not be your favorite place, but you won't likely regret it.

This place has always been known for the pizza. We know the owners through a family friend who is originally from Santa Daniella, Italy. Its legit.

An Italian told me "rough neck". But he may have been goofing around...
