    The seating here is really good. Try sitting by the windows. You can see cars go by and even people watch as they walk past the restaurant. In terms of the food, the Italian food here is exquisite.

    The veal marsala is exquisite. The savory sauce perfectly complements the tender veal. Also the lasagna rustica is great - the marinara sauce is so fresh, the ground sausage so perfect - fantastic.

    Let's talk about 'al dente', I thought the definition for that would be to cook until firm - not hard. Next time I will ask the chef to cook my pasta for 5 extra minutes. Great wine and desserts.

    Do not be deceived by reviews, this is not a hole in the wall. It is more of an intimate bistro suited for parties of 2-4 comfortably. Great food & attention to service!

    Can't remember the name of the dish precisely, but the farfalle in the slightly spicy sauce with Italian sausage was fantastic.

    It's so unfortunate! Our pasta was just not good (do they even make fresh pasta??) It's also felt more like a sports bar than a charming restaurant. Kill the TV!

    The chocolate mousse is tasty and light and big enough to be shared among 2-3 people.
