    Love the beauty of the dining room -- white linen tablecloths and napkins, lovely lamps at every table. No cliched decor gimmicks. Just elegance without being prissy. The food was excellent and our waiter great. My new favorite restaurant!

    Lovely restaurant, and service was prompt and professional. Nice ambience, nice crowd, although as the place filled up it became a bit too loud. Food was ok but nothing great, and frankly expensive for small portion sizes and mediocre quality such as my plain, tiny spaghetti marinara main course for $21. Decent but nothing special and poor value for price.

    Our waiter, Franklin, was excellent. He described the daily specials, opened our wine, promptly brought bread, and the olive oil we requested. He was never far away, yet never intrusive. He was there when we wanted him, and very responsive. The food was excellent! Served hot and attractive to the eye. Our party of 4 had the Polpo (octopus), Grilled shrimp, Bresaola Carpaccio and Salsiccia for appetizers, and the Branzino, daily Pasta Special, Fettuccine Bolignese, and Osso Buco as entrees. We finished with the Lemoncello flutes, Dream Bomba, coffee, and cappuccino for desert. We told Franklin we were celebrating our guest's birthday, so her desert came with a candle and singing. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. We have added Otto to our list of restaurants for return visits. Fancy enough to bring guests yet reasonable enough for a couples' dinner.

    First time here and surprised at how nice the atmosphere is there. Though it was crowded, you can hear each other well. I had the delicious veal francaise
