We were the last reservation of the night and although everyone there had pretty much finished their dinners, the restaurant staff all welcomed us kindly, and didn’t make us feel like the the imposition that I’m sure we were. We only ordered main courses (to be quicker to finish) and they were delicious, especially the Monday night special Chicken Milanese. Our new favorite spot.

Overall good. Food and service were great. The tables are small and crowded. A table for four should have been for two. There were several diners who were exceptionally loud and annoying, which was unfortunate. You could say they were rowdy. I’d give them another try.
