Our story

Our restaurant's story began with the vision of the founding owner Danilo Ciaccia, who wanted to share the culinary traditions of Italy passed down through generations. He grew up surrounded by fresh pasta, colors, aromas, and the influence of his grandmother, mother, and aunts, learning that how dishes are made matters as much as what is served. Our mission is to pay exquisite attention to authentic flavors and exceptional Italian cuisine, while promoting simplicity above all.

Such a nice little Italian spot with great vibes. I’ve been here about four times now and the food has always been good. One thing I really like is that they sometimes have special dishes that aren’t on the regular menu, so it always feels a bit exciting to see what they’re offering that day.The last time we went, there was a large group dining so it took a little longer for our food to come out. But our server kept coming by to check on us, explaining the situation and apologizing, which we really appreciated. This is one of our favorite places anyway, so we didn’t mind waiting at all.And the food was definitely worth it, the pasta was amazing as always, and the burrata was so good too.We’ll definitely be back again!

I really wanted to love this place!I was walking around craving pasta and hoping to stumble upon a hidden gem. Then I turned a corner and found The Italians — cute, cozy, tucked on a side street, and it looked perfect.The welcome wasn’t the warmest. I asked for a table for 1 and was met with a slightly dismissive “Do you have a reservation?” Since I didn’t, the bar became my spot for the evening. The waiter seemed new and a little nervous, but he was sweet and attentive.The menu is simple, full of fresh pasta (paradise for me!). I ordered olives, wine, and followed my waiter’s suggestion: chicken parm. The food looked and smelled amazing. The pasta was incredible, but the chicken, though tasty, came out cold. That’s on me for not sending it back—I’m sure they would have fixed it. I also di

I didn't know the pasta was fresh here, but it was immediately evident. The Bolognese was a perfect balance of each ingredient and fresh herbs, obviously performed by a master chef using quality ingredients. Linguine and seafood in wine sauce also did not stand on a single ingredient, but was simultaneously subtle and flavorful. Perfection. IMHO, The Italians really deserves a Michelin. Oh, then the tiramisu arrived. It appeared to be assembled or order, which in my experience, is unheard of.

This cosy, welcoming spot hosts some of the best pasta we have ever eaten! Fresh pastas, local food and some Italian imports made dinner fantastic. Excellent service and food. A must visit.

An amazing hidden gem. This restaurant is cosy, welcoming and all round great. It’s very small with not many tables, so would definitely advise booking as people were getting turned away. The pasta is cooked fresh and was absolutely delicious.
