Out meal was FANTASTIC! I was able to order a 1/2 portion Caesar salad. It was huge and the best O ever had. There were diced bits of parmesean cheese in it. My Penne Pesto ala Vodka with chicken sausage was ENORMOUS! I took home 2/3 of my entree. The prices are more than reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Overall very good . A few details .Blood orange Cosmo in the bar was sour. I think proportions were off. Bartender was very upbeat and pleasant. Overall meal was very good but one guest thought the Carbonara was fine but not the best. Barrata was excellent. Pizzetta was very good but too large for an appetizer. I would note that on the menu. One guest enjoyed the feast of the seven fishes. Veal tenderloin was a probably medium as requested. I should have ordered medium rare. Pork chop was very good . Our waitress Gabrielle was excellent , personable and just the right approach for a Christmas Eve celebration.
