    We had an excellent dinner with a nice bottle of Italian red wine. The grilled calamari appetizer was delicious and the pasta main courses were enjoyed by my entire group.

    Excellent service. Ambiance pleasant but somewhat noisy. Pasta y fagiola very good. Veal overcooked and tasteless, tomato sauce overwhelming.
