| - Old Italian, dark and outdated, but has an old charm to it. I love sitting in the main room where the live music is playing. It's delightfully pleasant, and the music with the singers makes me feel good . They play anywhere from Sinatra to Mario Lanza and just classic melodies paired with decent Italian dishes. 5 stars all the way- tip them if you enjoy it music.
I've been here a few times, sometimes to host, sometimes just to have a meal to satisfy the big appetite. Think American portions with a flare of Italian to it. Here's an example, the little bread knots that come out is drenched in butter, a bit of garlic, but still eat them.
The pappardelle bolognese, thick egg noodles, filled with ground beef, thick red sauce and a very filling dish. If you're feeling up to you, add a side of meatballs, it's overload, but I've devoured that meal on a hungry night. This is my favorite dish. 4 stars.
Other times, I have ordered the lasagna, a little different than you traditional layers of pasta. Individual sized dish, with the lasagna baked into every dish, a massive amounts of cheese and meat. Can be a bit salty, with a overload of carbs, fats and protein. 3 stars.
I don't recommend their white pinot noir house wine, because didn't go well with my food. I couldn't finish the glass. To each's own. 1 star.
Come with great company, enjoy massive amounts of food, not the most authentic Italian taste, but still decent. If you want to sit in the main room, make sure you make reservations, because it can get pretty packed. Read their history on their menu, it's a pretty interesting one.
