Eastern Ave., #155), has landed in our very own backyard, locals can experience all of her culinary splendor via the flavors of Naples. Whether it’s Fritto di Calamari & Zucchini or Baked Clams, Lasagna Della Nonna or Penne alla Vodka, patrons will revel in the classic, authentic dishes usually experienced only by those who’ve been to the “Old Country”.
