Charming, chef-owned restaurant serving Italian cuisine & pizza in an intimate environment.
From Google Maps reviews.
this is a lovely family run restaurant, the chef is very kind and offers to make changes to dishes without even being asked to. his wife is the baker here and makes amazing bread. we came for my brother’s birthday. each of us ordered a different dish, and each dish was a hit. we’ll be returning soon!
Very local neighborhood kind of place.. which i like and enjoy personally. My buddy Bobby told me about how he has been going there for years. Like more of a family setting then some over the top Italian restaurant. Food was fantastic.. my wife had the chicken robere( in picture)...and she is very picky.. but she absolutely loved it.. had the broccoli in garlic and oil with linguine as a side i had an incredible veal marsala.. with marsala mushroom fettuccine... wow..had to get more bread
One of my favorite Italian restaurants! The hidden gem of bayside. Food is always fresh, wine is always good, and the service always makes you feel special. Pepito de cozi is my favorite!
From the Oct 16, 2025 health inspection. Lower-priority items are listed after the serious ones.

Hot food was held below 140°F, cool enough for bacteria to grow.

Food surfaces are too worn or badly built to be properly cleaned.
