Just a few blocks away right here in Historic Old Uptown is one of my hands down favorites! So much more than just bread and pastry. This is authentic Old World Italian Cuisine at its finest.
You’ll be greeted by Vinny or Dom at the register with Lena and Sal and Daughter Valentina in the kitchen Cooking up their Italian delight’s.
