| - SMALL ,old school ,family -style, no frills Italian restaurant situated off the beaten path. The decor reminded me of the now defunct Johnny's, in Manhattan, tacky factor toned down, minus the drunken louts at the bar, and a character straight out of the mob movies, and very much cleaner. We were a large group, had 2 tables reserved, and the waiters promptly filled out water glasses and took drink orders. Shortly afterwards, they came back and took our food orders. I ordered a pizza al fresco, pizza with boccacini cheese, fresh tomatoes and basil, my co-diners, ordered a lasagna, stuffed cannolini, and the guy on the other end, a meat- stuffed pasta, the name I can't recall. My pizza was super, though the crust just a bit over baked, the lady with the lasagna, loved hers, but could not finish, it was MONSTER -sized, the cannolini lady could not finish hers either; only the guy who ordered the stuffed pasta and I could finish our orders. I'll tell you, there were a LOT of doggy/kitty bags going home that night. The service was very attentive, prompt and very polite. Another place to remember and add to my fave list.
