The food at this place is a true stand-out.  Its not super trendy like most other places in Lawrenceville.  The floors are carpeted and the ambiance is more traditional.  It wasn't filled with Hipsters and we walked right in to get a table on a Friday night at 7PM.  Our server was very friendly.\n\nBut back to the food.  Oh the food!!! First off, the place is BYOB.  Huge money saver.  My hubby and I don't eat meat, and since most of thentr\u00e9eses are meat, we went apps and pasta.  We started off with beans and greens and artichokMilanesese.  Both were HUGE and fantastic.  We were both alreadgettingng full after the apps.  \n\nNext, the hubby got a house salad which was a good size and full of goodies.  He was pleased.  I got the heirloom tomato caprese.  It UNBELIEVABLEABLE.  heirlooms, basil, mozzarella, capers, grilled peaches- it was heaven.  Fresh, large, beautifully plated and the contrasting flavors went wonderfully together.  \n\nWe were both officially stuffed after the salads and we ordered a split pasta to finish off our dinner- gnocchi.  It came pseparatelyrately. If this was a split portion (which I confirmed that it was), I can't imagine anyone ever finishing a dish themselves.  If you are Italian or love gnocchi, you know how easy it is to mess it up and get a heavy little ball.  This, fortunately, was a perfect little pocket of airy gnocchi.  Up there with some of the best in the city (Dish, il pizziolo).  \n\nWe weren't able to finish our gnocchi, so we didn't make it to dessert, but we walked out with only a $55 bill.  Couldn't believe it for the quality and quantity of food. \n\nI can't wait to go back.
