My favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant. Always good food and friendly staff. I always start my meal with the Greek salad garlic bread and wine from a good selection. I often get a fish dish over risotto either salmon,halibut,or swordfish. There pastas are great as well. Love the bolognese sauce. Very similar to what I make at home. Finished with Italian cream cake or tiramisu. The live guitarist normally starts at 7:00. This restaurant never disappoints.
