We went before a show and the restaurant filled up quickly. I had their soup special, pumpkin with asparagus which was delicious. But my Entree was even more fabulous. I ordered the Spaghetini Arrabiato and I’m still regretting that I couldn’t finish it! It was so delicious. The restaurant is BYOB which we didn’t know. But we were able to walk less than a block and pick up a bottle of wine. I would completely recommend this place.
