We’ve been serving Lowell’s most discerning diners since 2004, bringing authentic Abruzzese cuisine to Massachusetts without the trip to Boston’s North End. Our family-owned restaurant specializes in dishes you won’t find anywhere else in the region.

You’ll find us conveniently located in Lowell, where we’ve built our reputation one perfectly prepared meal at a time. Our chefs bring decades of experience creating the traditional flavors that have made Italian cuisine beloved worldwide.
Your experience begins the moment you make your reservation. We recommend booking ahead, especially for our intimate upstairs dining room where chandeliers and golden drapes create the perfect ambiance for special occasions.
When you arrive, our professional staff guides you to your table, whether you prefer the elegant upstairs atmosphere or our newly renovated downstairs area with its expansive bar and modern touches. Each setting offers its own charm while maintaining our commitment to exceptional service.
Your meal unfolds with carefully prepared dishes made to order. From our signature veal chop stuffed with prosciutto and fontina cheese to our house-made pasta with traditional sauces, every plate reflects our dedication to authentic Italian preparation methods that have been refined over generations.
