My boyfriend brought me here on our very first date (three years ago) and we recently returned for our anniversary. He has a lot of family history here, and some of the staff from his childhood, when his mother worked there, are still around.
If you're looking for a nice, quiet American-Italian dinner spot, this would be a spot. The crowd is older, but I far from mind it.
I, myself, am a picky eater, and most of what I eat is "boring" to the common man -- but I really enjoy their food! Their servings are HUGE. I have yet to eat an entire dish. I know we'll return again (even if it's in three more years!)
