There is fettucini with portobello mushrooms and fresh tomatoes, bruschetta di calamari, shrimp alla ida (sauteed in white wine) with pasta, and Mozzarella di Bufala Rolletini with roasted peppers. Linguine with Garlic Shrimp and Veal Lasagna are customer favorites. Cannoli, Biscotti or the Torta di Casa make excellent desserts. The restaurant also features a 300-bottle wine list. |

Fab food...: As an old Italian, I can say that the grilled pork was superb, as was the garlic shrimp. The red sauce needs a little work, but it may just be me, because it is my specialty. The service was not super because of so many Christmas parties going on, another testamony to food quality. A homey atmosphere and very pleasant wait-staff make this place special. The owner hovered the dining rooms, but in a way that lets you kno he loves the place.
Sort of fancy italian in a blue collar way: Overly fancy service in a chintyz, bronzey ambiance in a working class "union" hangout
