True Italian comfort food with portions that guarantee leftovers. The red sauce tastes like Nonna's kitchen, and the staff treats every guest like family. A Hellertown institution.

The brick oven pizza has that perfect char and chew, and the veal parmigiana is tender perfection. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where regulars are greeted by name and newcomers feel instantly welcome.

The most beloved restaurant in Easton — and for good reason. The wood-fired pizza is perfection, the pasta is handmade, and Monday half-price wine nights are legendary. Reservations essential.
