This place is recommended fairly highly mostly for how the meal starts out.
They bring out oil and warm bread but they sprinkle spices on a small plate before pouring the oil. It is a simple but the best olive oil and bread combination I have had at any Italain restaurant.
They have 2 outstanding appetizers: the Scotty Thompson and calamari with red sauce. They have another sauce but it's not good. The Scotty Thompson is off-menu and not always available. It is a simple bruschetta with cheese and red sauce that is surprisingly good.
Their soups are good to outstanding. My favorite is the spicy sausage and lentil but it's not always available. Their soups are better than their salads. The house is bland and the Ceasar's not much better.
When it comes to entrees they drop off a bit. B&B and Circo are better but their steak and double pork chop marsalas are pretty good.
For 2 people who share an appetizer and don't get wine, you can keep it under $60 including the tip. We have never gotten to dessert because we are stuffed by then. As a value, it is definitely recommended.
