    Wonderful neighborhood Italian restaurant. Minestrone, Caesar salad, pizza, crab + pappardelle special were all excellent, as was the service.

    We arrived a few minutes early for our 6:15 reservation for two and there were a number of people ahead of us waiting to check in. They sat several small groups who did not have reservations ahead of us instead of asking if any of us in line had reservations. So we had to wait until 6:50 to be seated. We waited almost 15 minutes for our drinks, but we did not have to wait long for salad and dinner. It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was completely full and extremely loud. We had to yell to hear each other. Even though the night was disappointing, we will go back because the staff was very nice, and apologetic for the wait. The food was also good and I like that they offer small side salads with dinner. Our waiter was very busy with a large group but he did a wonderful job!

    Always nice to step back in time and go to a cozy neighborhood Italian restaurant. Huge menu with all the old favorites. Friendly service and comfy ambiance. Good food at reasonable prices. Must keep it on our list.
