I just love trying new restaurants! Even if it's another Italian restaurant on the Hill!
Why YES! It IS a market on Marconi street! How did you know? The store in the front of the restaurant is small and cute, and allows plenty of room to hang out while you wait for the rest of your party.
My friends and I ordered a couple of appetizers to share. Arancini rice balls are my favorite...

We exchanged a couple of them for some Carciofi Fritti, or fried artichokes. Anything fried is delicious!

The specials all sounded amazing, but I was feeling pasta. All the dishes were winners.
I finally chose Maine Lobster Gnocchi...two of my favorite things together. The gnocchi melted in my mouth, and then I dipped the lobster and bread in the leftover sauce!

My friends ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognese and Wild Boar Pappardelle used such fresh pasta and were so rich and creamy.

And dessert? Of course we did, as I couldn't turn down the cannoli. Luckily, they were on the smaller side (four to an order), so we were able to put them away. Unfortunately, we forgot to take a picture.
If you love Italian restaurants on the Hill and are willing to try something new...be sure to add this to your list!
