    The local Italian joint … I use those words with great affection. You walk in and you’re family. You know what you’re here for- delicious cocktails, good homemade Italian fare, and a relaxed, unpretentious good time. The escargot and polenta are great. The veal dishes are all solid. The pastas are in house made sauces. Sit back, relax, have a great espresso martini and enjoy.
