This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend who knows food. It did not disappoint. The pasta and pizza are made using flour from Tramontina, near Napoli. It is more coarsly ground than most flour giving the products a distinctive chewiness which I found to be delicious. Our pasta, with tomatoes and mushrooms was beautifully prepared and cooked to just the right doneness. Similarly, our pizza, called the "Poverella" is a specialty of the area and is topped with fresh large and small tomatoes (cherry tomatoes), small bits of anchovy from Cetara, Gaeta olives, Grano Gattugiato ages for 15 months (cheese) and raw basil leaves. The ingredients were fresh and maintained their distinctive identities while, at the same time, merged with the delicious crust into a delicious flavor when unified. The restaurant also has an extensive menu fish and seafood menu. We tried the fried calamari and it was delicious, crispy and not oily. We were there at the height of lunch hour so service was not perfect. When the pasta arrived at the table, we tasted it and felt it needed grated cheese. We waited a few minutes and no server came by, so my wife got up and asked for some grated cheese. It did not arrive until we asked a server who finished cleaning a table and the brought it. In the interim, the pasta got a bit cold. The dish was fine but would have been better had it been hot and topped with grated cheese.
