“standard food good atmosphere.”
“The desserts are DELICIOUS, especially the prunes.”
“Also has a nice bar!”
“The salad was good but the Cavatelli was insane.”
“The food is great, and the menu is arranged so you can order multiple things and share.”
“I'm confident that I have a good grasp on the the great and the just ok of the place and it is beyond me how people can be so nit-picky about a small neighborhood restaurant.”

In a word, YUM.. Always fresh and great food. Decent Pimm Cups and great meatballs!
Great atmosphere but let's not get carried away. This is fine food with a great location and atmosphere however the food is overrated. Good cocktails.
