The Idas, who both have restaurant experience from their native Valencia, Italy, came here from Glen Rock, N.J., where they ran a midscale place dubbed Mezzaluna. Based on most of what we sampled on a weekday dinner visit, North Carrollton's population will be well served.
Entrees come with a small salad of crisp greens dressed in a borderline-cloying tomato vinaigrette.
Fine al dente pasta is also included with main dishes, which didn't impress us as much as the starters. We rebounded with dessert. All desserts are made in-house. Business was sporadic on our visit, but our server never faltered, bringing out dishes in perfect time with our consumption rate. The fledgling takeout business seemed similar in tone and pace.
