This little BYOB restaurant is located in Doylestown near the Courthouse and the monument and is easy to miss, The entry is not very inviting as it almost looks like it's closed. The restaurant is small and narrow. We were seated by the window, which may have given us the small feeling too.

Bill and I arrived first and as we looked at the menu we were brought some complimentary bruschetta. The bread was a little stale but it was still tasty and a nice surprise.
As we were conversing and still figuring out what to order, we were brought some nice warm rolls. They were delicious with the olive oil
For appetizers, Sue and Bill split the Carpaccio di Carne and said it was delicious. I split an arugula salad with John. I thought it was kind of dry and not much to it. Dressing wasn't anything special.
There were many, almost over the top, specials. John had the Salmon special. It was a generous portion and he found it very good. I had the ricotta ravioli. It was nice and light. Sauce was very good and I could finish the whole thing without feeling too full.
Sue had the Ravioli al Granchio e Gamberi ( crabmeat, shrimp, pork vodka sauce). She loved it. Gave it a 5 ! And Bill liked his entree but said could be hotter.
After dinner, we were brought some complimentary limoncello.
We all thought the service was great. All in all a nice experience, but we kept comparing it to Amelia, which we liked better.
PROS: Complimentary bruschetta and limoncello. Delicious rolls. Nice sauce on the pasta. Service was great.
CONS: One entree could have been hotter. Was kind of narrow and confining .
