| - Just visited for the first time - previously I had ordered delivery.
Pretty cool! Nice little neighborhood Italian place, small and cramped, reminded me of New York a bit.
The Antipasto was a mixed bag. The mozzarella, salami, prosciutto, peppers, were great. The eggplant and mushrooms, less so. The bread - delicious! The olives were the terrible sliced canned variety. The proprietor said he is going to make his own from his olive tree - that should be better! In the meanwhile guys - a few good olives are better than a lot of shitty canned ones. I'm just sayin'. I wish they had some decent tomatoes, also.
Pasta was superb. I had the lasagna - it was fantastic. She had the special, some kind of linguine thing in white sauce with shrimp. It came with 4 giant shrimp. I felt like it could have had a few more, for the price, but that's just me! The flavor was great.
I brought a bottle of wine, the corkage fee was $5. Very nice.
They gave us a cannoli, on the house, as a dessert! It was superb. My friend, an ex-pastry chef, was impressed. I am from NY and was impressed. Good stuff. Yum!
I will be back! Nice little neighborhood spot, for sure!
They are going to stay open, longer - 9:30 during the week, open at 4 and close at 10 on the weekends, yay!
