Decent Italian food, in a pleasant if crowded space served by efficient wait staff
Very generous potions, a good value.
A true hidden gem. The food is excellent, and the service is great.
By far my favorite restaurant. We still come here even though we moved about 45 minutes away.
Unsurpassed, friendly to all Italian where an owner may sit down with you (if he can find a seat). Everything recommended: figs, artichokes, mussels, crab cakes, tricolor salad with gorgonzola, freshwater bass, grilled chicken. Very reasonable. Lines exaggerated. Recently went Friday at 7 and only waited for a comfortable table to be added near the bar and kitchen entry.
Very satisfying meal: quality Italian food, nicely prepared, ample portions. Service was friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. One of the owners stopped by the table a couple of times through the evening to make sure that all was satisfactory. Staff had obvious spirit and good morale; I like to see that in a restaurant. Casual atmosphere, but also suitable for a date, too. Definitely will visit again.
Reliable primo Italiano
