This one's been in the neighborhood with the same owner for more than 20 years, and the food and atmosphere are still terrific. Small and crowded, it's somehow not overly noisy. The servers are extremely knowledgeable and the wines are lovely. Very good homemade pastas.
This place is WAY over-rated. What's all the hype about? The pizza is soggy and remarkable only for its high price. Same for appetizers. Good service can't make up for overpriced food.

Excellent fish and pastas. Try for the garden, it's quieter and more spacious. Good service.
