    I have had mixed experiences here over the years but have to say they were on their game last night. The fave bean puree with chicory appetizer is rarely found and is common in Puglia, Italy. Their rendition is as good as any I have had in Italy. They had a vegetarian bean soup which was outstanding. Their pizza were all terrific although they were a bit skimpy on the toppings. Will be visiting again soon.

    Great food. Horrible service. Sat outside. We were totally ignored, and the waitress and busboy never picked up the used dishes
