Generous plates and unpretentious neighborhood warmth anchor this Carina staple. Diners drop in for relaxed date nights and bustling group celebrations over tortellini carbonara, crisp garlic cheese calzone, and slow-baked lasagna served whole.

Expect unhurried chatter across the dining room, steady pours from home bottles, and rich Italian hot chocolate to finish.

    Generous banquet dining and patient, accommodating staff ensure milestone family gatherings and multi-generational birthdays run smoothly.

  • Tortellini Carbonara

    The food was absolutely delicious, I ordered the Tortellini Carbonara and the only thing stopping me from eating the plate as well is the capacity of my stomach -- which was GENEROUSLY stuffed by the time we were ready to go.
