    The Penne Norma was quite beyond the norm: like eggplant parmesan, but elevated to a new art form—creamy, thinly sliced, meaty, al dente, and delish!

    Pros: good food, nice patio when the weather permits, gluten free and vegetarian options. Cons: the price and horrible service.

    Osso buco is great! And their salmon is always fine if you don't want veal.

    If you are in a group, order a couple pastas to share then order your main courses. Then you get the best of everything!

    Grab a bottle of 2006 Cornerstone Napa Cabernet with the Pappardelle e Polpettone, Won't be disappointed!

    Terrible food, poor service, and misleading description of their dining room. DO NOT BOOK THEIR WINE ROOM, AS THEY WILL LOCK YOU INTO A SET GRATUITY, AND SERVICE WILL BE POOR SINCE TIP IS GAURANTEED!

    Are you gluten free? Ask for the quinoa pasta. It's great.
