  My husband and I just happened to find this gem. Our food was fresh and the pasta dishes we chose were excellently prepared. We enjoyed our meal very much. The staff were friendly and helpful in choosing our entrees. We will be back whenever we visit Durham again.

  Had great servers and quick food delivery, unfortunately it isn't very Italian, though I understand using bacon in your carborna it is hard to also use onions and Alfredo sauce instead of eggs pecorino cheese, whatever they put together was bland with chewy undercooked bacon. The portions and price were fine but the food left much to be desired. I would not return.

  I ordered takeout of chicken parmesan. The sauce had no Italian taste. Was sorta bland. The chicken patties were like chewing something made of rubber. It had been about a year that I last had this. Do remember it tasted so much better then. Very disappointed.

  This place is very reminiscent of a small Italian diner. The atmosphere is cozy and fun! The booth seating is kinda tight. The food portions are large which was surprising for the affordable price and the free bread when you dine in is really good! There are a lot of onions in the marinara, but at least they were big enough to avoid. Also on the salad that I forgot to have removed. So if you’re allergic or sensitive to onions just be aware. We tried the fried egg plant and the zucchini bake. Both suited each of us. For me though the Alfredo lacks much flavor. Overall, this was a really nice date night. I think we would go here again!
