    Note that we went before an event at ACT and were on a short timeline. The food and drinks were really quite good. To be honest, I hadn't expected a lot from a restaurant in that area, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's casual, not elevated in any way, but solid prep and served quickly. There were 3 of us and we shared the Caesar salad - which was fine, a pasta dish that had a taleggio cream, pancetta and hen of the woods mushrooms - also good, though very small, and the salsiccia pizza which was superb - I didn't even get mad about the broccoli that was on it, though I generally am unequivocally opposed to it. I had a Lemoncello spritzer that was outstanding, and a glass of wine. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable about the food, and had opinions on wines, all of which I really appreciate. I think this is a great choice when attending an ACT production! ONE IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW - The restaurant validates parking for 3 hours, but if you stay longer than that, you will pay the full-rate, all-day parking price of $38. That was not a pleasant surprise.
