| - This is a super restaurant in Little Italy, bustling and vibrant, and WAY bigger than it appears from the outside. There's an ample sized terrasse outside the front, and the interior is very large, but recently my family came here and we were whisked through a galley kitchen area to a humongous outdoor courtyard in the rear. Despite not having a reservation, they were able to seat our party of five. We brought our own bottle of wine, and we had some fantastic food: some ordered the pizza calabrese, one ordered the pizza puttanesca, and I ordered the pasta tutti de mar (I may be misspelling this. I ordered the seafood pasta). It was delicious, with the noodles perfectly cooked and the sauce chock full of shrimp and clams and squid. They sure didn't scrimp on the ingredients. And all the meals were really large. We brought home a lot of pizza and pasta left-overs.
The waitress was sweet and, despite manning many tables, was quite attentive.
The only mediocre aspect of the meal was the antipasto appetizer, whose portion was quite small, and the meats were overly spicy (we ordered the kind without melon). My advice is to skip the antipasto and save room for the wonderful main course dishes!
For dessert we all shared a generous slice of carrot cake which was wonderful - especially the icing!
We will definitely be back.
