Pretty decent breakfast, and good for dinner! I would say it is definitely a solid 4 ⭐️ star for Hillsborough, but relative to something in a bigger city, a 3 ⭐️.
The service is friendly and accommodating, and the food is generally good! The French toast was delicious and the eggs Benedict was good, the hashbrowns were below average. Coffee was also pretty decent, we got a salted caramel latte. The omelette was a great omelette!
It’s been a while since we’ve been here for dinner, but when we had, I believe we got the fillet and then one of the pastas, and it was great for Hillsborough, probably 5 ⭐️.

What a hidden gem. Probably should keep to myself.
Great location
Free parking lot behind the building
Architectural charm and intimate tables without being too isolated.
Both the Manager, our waitress Denise and the young man assisting her were personable, knew the menu and gave great suggestions.
Loved the Tuscan Chicken and Sausage Stew. We devoured the mussels in the delicious cream sauce. Enjoyed the bread spread, salads, cocktail (Painkiller) and pasta dishes. I really appreciate that they have half size portions because I always have leftovers. For dessert we enjoyed the Oreo cookie dish and key lime pie.
This will be our new go to place for fabulous Italian food. Come early, it gets busy after 6pm on Sunday.

We ate as a large party for a birthday, and as beautiful as the space was, it was overall a disappointing experience. The service was extremely slow and lots of items and requests were forgotten.
The appetizer was a stand out, simple and elegant crostinis, but the special was luke warm and sadly didn’t have the flavor of gorgonzola as promised.
I might try again to see if a smaller table for two got better results, amd maybe stick to the menu items.

Be aware that the guy who seats you is on a mission to sell water. He asked if we wanted sparkling water and I replied that tap water was fine. He brought us a bottle of still water and we were billed 7.00 for it. We were seated at a table for 2 very, very close to the next table for 2. We were both bumped by wait staff at least 5 or 6 times because they couldn’t get around these tables to get to other tables when coming out of the kitchen without bumping us. The chicken in the chicken parmesan was so tough that I could barely chew it. I have never had chicken breast that tough! We asked if we could substitute pasta in place of the rice and vegetables and the waitress said “sure.” She didn’t mention that there was a 3.50 upcharge per plate and they left off not only the rice but the vegetables too. The linguini was all stuck together so it was chewy and not cooked thoroughly. There was hardly any marina sauce on the pasta. On a positive note, the bread was good and the salmon was well cooked. The waitress was friendly and attentive and did her job.

Been here numerous times – the service & dishes are always 5 ✨. Pictured polpetta with cream sauce. Bottle of red wine & Cesar salad. And a house special salad. Sitting spaces are bit tight but other than that, it’s cozy in the winter. Reservations recommended.

Not authentic Italian — promising atmosphere, disappointing food and service.
Atmosphere: A+
The dining room and outdoor seating are lovely, with a great ambiance.
Service: 1 star
Staff seemed annoyed I asked to look at a menu, walked away. Server didn’t check back after the food arrived. The service felt disengaged and inattentive. People need water or more wine!
As a first-generation Italian American who has eaten in Italy and in many authentic Italian homes and American Italian restaurants, I found the food very disappointing and with a high price tag. I also make fresh Italian pasta and sausage and sausage. It’s safe to say I know good Italian and was taught by old Italian women.
Food: 0 stars
The red sauce was thin and flavorless — more like watered-down soup than a proper tomato sauce. The “homemade” pasta arrived broken, overcooked, and tasting like leftovers rather than fresh pasta. The meatballs were the only passable item, however, could have used a tad more flavor.
Chipotle Alfredo: too hot to enjoy
The Chipotle Alfredo was overwhelmingly spicy; the smoky idea could work, but the heat completely destroyed the dish. There should be a menu warning — we missed the “chipotle” descriptor while focusing on “Alfredo.”
Wine: overpriced and underpoured
Portions were very small and inconsistent between glasses. A couple of sips and done!
Constructive suggestions
– A classic Italian tomato sauce should be rich and thick — use San Marzano tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, onion, garlic, fresh basil, tomato paste, and black pepper. I also like adding shallots and a long carrot slice to balance acidity (remove the carrot before serving).
– If you advertise “homemade” pasta, make it truly fresh and cooked properly. Consider serving hand-formed shapes like gnocchi, cavatelli, or orecchiette that showcase fresh pasta better than fragile shapes.
I hope the restaurant takes this feedback and others with like comments to heart — the atmosphere shows potential, but both the kitchen and the service need improvement.

I attended as a member of a large group so YMMV. The food was a mixed bag. Great crostini (but the bread should have been thicker and less cracker-like), good Chicken and Bacon Chowder (but the thyme must have been dried; there was a musty off-note). The special salad was good, but mine was drenched in m dressing. (When I want a quart of oil, I’ll get it at the auto store.) Other things on the menu looked good. I’ll try them again sometime.

The service was so good and friendly. I personally was not a fan of the pasta, it was over cooked and lacked a lot of flavor. The dessert was was really good. I enjoyed dinning outside, perfect little town to enjoy outside dinning in.

Went for the first time on a Saturday at lunch. We had 5 of us that included my in laws, my husband, and our toddler. Mary (I think that was her name), our server, was top notch. Perfect level of attentiveness, especially when you’re trying to keep a 3 year old occupied. Food choices were really expansive for a lunch menu, and prices were reasonable and portions very generous. Just a very comfortable neighborhood restaurant. Looking forward to going back!

The food was ok and the drinks were just basic bar drinks. A little bit disappointed where they seated us on our anniversary. Steak was plain but fiancé said she liked it.
Waiter was super nice very attending but overall 3/5.
