    This is a REAL Italian Restaurant. My wife and I only know of a few in the area and this is one of them. Just because a restaurant serves pizza and pasta does not make it an Italian Restaurant. This one has a menu featuring many real Italian dishes including Italian desserts and Italian cocktails and wine, even Grappa! The service was prompt and courteous, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was wonderful. We arrived an hour before our reservation but was promptly seated anyway. I really don't understand why anyone would give this restaurant less than 5 stars. We found free street parking right in front on the restaurant. But if you can't find street parking, there are two pay parking lots right across the street. We are adding this place to our list of favorite Italian Restaurants and I'm sure will be returning many times in the future.

    When we arrived there were no tables available despite the fact we’d made a reservation. We were offered seating outdoors (it was 50 degrees outside!) or next door at the bar. We chose to go next door to the bar where the tables were too small to even fit our drinks and the food we ordered. Over all nice staff and drinks/apps but the curry was less than impressive.
