Located on Dante Street in Little Italy, this popular restaurant has been featured on the Food Network show, You Gotta Eat Here...... and you do !   The selection of pizzas and pasta choices are enormous, PLUS it's a Bring-Your-Own-Wine (BYOW) restaurant.   During the summer, there's a great terrace.   How can you go wrong ? 

​

We usually start with the Insalata Verde (just a lettuce salad, but simple, fresh, and delicious).   Although we've had their pastas, we always return for the pizza.  

 

We've had the Formia, which is Italian tuna with garlic and onions scattered on top of a thin crust pizza.  The Porcini is also fantastic, with toppings of porcini mushrooms, cheese, and arugula.   If you like mushrooms, this is the one for you !   Drizzle a little of their chili oil over a slice, and it's mangia time !

​

Their vast menu offers antipasto, pasta of all kinds, and a list of desserts.  Their cannolis with an espresso is the perfect way to end the meal.  

​

A bonus is that the Pasticceria Alati-Caserta bakery is just down the street on Dante.  You can walk over there for some amazing cannolis or almond paste cake, if you still have any room in your stomach.  

​

So take a trip to Little Italy.  Check out the Jean Talon market, stroll down to Milano for some Italian groceries, and drop into Naplotena for a bite.   It's fantastico !
