    Little Italy image
    Found this cute little place walking back to the hotel after the Aquarium. Gia the owner was super sweet to us, since we didn't have a reservation we were a little nervous that we wouldn't be able to get in. The food was great, full of flavor. The Chicken Cacciatorre was delicious! The cannoli that we got to which is not pictured was the best cannoli I've ever had, so light. Only downfall I could say was that we had to pay for oil and parmesan cheese for our bread. Overall great place to eat, highly recommend! See more..
