The Cappellini al Pomodoro was excellent!

I think they’re on to something good. It’s a cozy place with great service and great food – decent prices too!
The only downside with a small plates menu though… is that the plates are small. Seriously, I wanted to super-size the risotto, it’s that good!
We’re were told this was a soft open. Not sure when the “hard” open will be and they are still working out happy hour plans. Can’t wait!
