The "hard-working" crew "really knows how to run a classy joint" at this "pricey" Northern Italian in Hanover Square, where guests descend to the basement-level space to enjoy a white-tablecloth meal of "fabulous" dishes reminiscent of the old country, like homemade pastas and grilled meats; if a few feel it could use "some new life", others say it's solid for a "business lunch" or "hosting a party"; P.S. closed weekends.
