Ah, carbonara. A delicious and indulgent pasta dish that's on many the menu of your ordinary fine-dining Italian restaurant.

Start your meal with one of the many delicious appetizers on the Antipasto menu. The bruschetta is perfectly light and vegetarian friendly; the perfect balance of sweet and savory that's sure to whet your appetite.
In terms of entrees, while everything on the menu is fantastic, the Spaghetti & Meatballs is the restaurant's signature dish, with house-made meatballs on par with any Italian nonna's.
