I really enjoyed finding this cozy little place. Today I had a wonderful salad for lunch, thinly shaved smoked tuna creating a dome over a bed of perfectly dressed crispy cold greens and shaved artichokes. The place was full when I walked in but I was greeted and assured I would be seated soon. And I was. Service continued to be very attentive. My salad came out quickly and was very satisfying. I can't wait to go back to try some of the pasta dishes.

Not as bad as reviews suggest

I read the negative reviews here and otherwise. My friend chose it for his Birthday. The food was good for the price. The ambiance was not as cheesy as suggested (no red and white tablecloths; full bottles of wine decorate a small part of a wall). Service gets a low mark due to dubious charges on an expensive meal. Otherwise, not a bad place for a first date on week night or for a group of friends on a weekend.

Nice to have the big guy back, and he is all over the restaurant greeting customers jovially. The pastas are cooked just right, and the sauces are excellent, light but substantial, and flavorful. It is crowded, and noisy, but the food more than makes up for it.
