I came here for the first time with my daughter who is 1 on a Friday before we got my 4 year old son from camp. It is a very authentic experience considering I lived in Italy. Sadly no Italian but for the grandfather who wasn't here. I give 5 stars for authenticity and service but it is more like an Italian place than an Italian American so you need to come knowing that you are coming to an Italian "pranza" (lunch), it is not the fake ambient ITALIAN DINNER RESTAURANTS Americans are used to. I do highly recommend it, great service and great food!
