    This great place has never disappointed. Including tonight, I have been here ~ 30 times and it’s always stellar. Lentil soup was delicious as was the penne arrabiatta (sp?). There is a lemon tree in the outdoor dining room. Very authentic!

    First time and prices looked a bit high for lunch at the onset. However you received what you paid for. My capellini dish was well presented and delicious. Service was attentive as needed, yet let us enjoy the meal, ambience and our conversation.

    Food was flavorless. Shocking. Even simple things like salt and pepper were missing.

    Food was excellent. Fried Calamari excellent, Pasta entrees excellent. Caesar salad very good. Atmosphere quiet enough so you could actually hear the people at your table, which is not the case in many restaurants.
