“ We showed up on a Tuesday night without a reservation. This was my mistake as many restaurants in the area are not reservation based and thinking back, I should have called. However, they were incredibly graceful. We were informed about the approximate wait and were seated at the bar where we ordered drinks. Shortly after, we were seated at our table. This is a smaller restaurant, very cozy, but this is exactly the type of hidden gems I live for. If you are looking for the Instagramable place, this is not it. This restaurant is not pretentious, it is simply what it claims to be. Amazing Italian food with no unnecessary frills. I love the dark wood decor, think London pub/dark academia vibes. But it is friendly, you can be casual or you can be fancy. Come as you are. My husband, having over 20 years in the culinary business, rarely finds anything impressive. Think Phoebe's health inspector boyfriend from "Friends." (but hotter) :) I digress. We tasted the Smothered Rice Balls in Vodka Sauce, Stuffed Mushrooms with Sausage Stuffing, the Penne Vodka, and Chicken Francaise with White Wine Lemon Sauce. All the food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection! The service was warm and attentive. Prices reasonable, drinks well made, husband raised an eyebrow in approval and agreed the food was delectable. 5/5 will definitely add this to our regular date night roster! ”

“ This place is the cutest ever. Open the door like your entering someone's home. Having a home cooked Italian meal in a very cozy at home dinning room. So relaxing. Best vodka sauce I've had and I've had many. Servers are on point. They are not scared to suggest and help you choose your meal. Which is perfect for me since i never know what i want. Drinks are also very good. Kids split a meal and had left overs for 2 days. They do not skimp on portions. Take home containers are brought to you through your meal so you can keep your table clear. All food is fresh and made to order. I'm looking foward to going back. ”

“ Came here 2 weeks ago for date night and was thoroughly impressed. From the service to the food and drinks, everything was top notch. We will absolutely be back soon! ”

“ Amazing food great ambience and well poured cocktails. Game changing vodka sauce. Will be back for sure. 11/10 ”

“ This place is a hidden gen of Belleville. Our waiter was excellent she was very pleasant, courteous and knew what we would like. The food was well especially the vodka sauce amazing. Love it was a nice birthday dinner with my family. ”

“ My friend’s surprise birthday dinner was here last week and I was so impressed that I had to bring my family back a week later! I’ve lived in Belleville my entire life, and I can’t believe it took me so long to discover this hidden gem. We absolutely love it here! The food is incredible - fresh, delicious, and mouthwatering. Justin and the entire staff are fantastic, and they make you feel right at home. We can’t wait to come back again! It’s definitely a 10/10 experience! ”

“ The service is great! Justin and Amy are amazing. The food is delicious with large portions. My favorite is the chicken cutlets in vodka sauce and the dirty affogato! Small and quaint ( an old train station!) ”

“ Great food and vibe. Portions are large, sauces are all great especially that vodka sauce. The old train station it’s inside is nice and clean and cool, servers are friendly. Yeah there’s a few small issues. Menu is outdated on pricing, parking can be hard, but the sum is greater than the parts here. ”
