Food is good but too salty. Prices are reasonable; pizza is a good bet. Wine was good. It is loud--family style dining, so go with someone you know well.

Like to eat from clean dishes? It's not your place. Everything is dirty after dishwasher and they're not very happy to replace it when you ask.

Best pasta & service in my part of the city. :-) although management might want to inform the servers about the foursquare specials.

Get the duck prosciutto and dip it in the apricot sauce. I know it sounds weird, but I promise it's good. Also the Coppa al Banana is really good.
