    Older crowd, but also families with young children. Restaurant is small and feels overcrowded. My red sauce had too much sugar in it, but otherwise meal was pretty good. The pasta was good quality I thought. Waitress was very nice.

    The wheel trap special was excellent. The octopus appetizer is excellent. The fillet a soul whole fish was not as we expected. We got an appetizer of baked oysters. They were very expensive and we only got three. Not too happy.

    Where do I begin? The salmone toscana and osso bucco brought me back to my days in Tuscany. Can’t wait to return

    Went on a busy weekend, although an earlier than prime time, and enjoyed a delicious meal. Both the Dover Sole and the Spaghetti carbonara were excellent.
