    One of our favorite places. We had a pre-matinee lunch and told the server we were in a bit of a hurry, and they were very accommodating. Food is always excellent. This time: fritto misto, pomodoro salad, and pasta limone. Food is beautifully prepared, drinks are excellent, service is unpretentious and professional. One of the best restaurants in the neighborhood.

    The cuisine is consistently exceptional, and the personnel are remarkably accommodating and professional. It is ideal for business lunches and social gatherings with friends, but it is certainly not suitable for a romantic evening. Who cares?????
