| - Wow, I can't believe I am lucky enough to review this wonderful little restaurant first on Yelp! I have known about this restaurant for many months, but just have never made it in... until tonight!
Luckily, my friend and I decided to come here. It was a Friday night and at 6:45 pm, there was already a line and a 30 min to 1 hour wait. We headed over to the bar which was catty-corner and waited for them to ring and let us know our table was ready. We were happy that the wait was closer to 30 min and soon, we were happily trying to decide what to order. I should take this moment to mention that they are BYOB (I love BYOB). $4 corkage per bottle for wine and $2 per beer.
We finally decided on the Bruschetta (5 large pieces of mixed standard, olive tapenade and roasted red peppers) to start with, a good choice although I heard the Melanzane is wonderful. We both got the lasagna, which everyone raves about (deservedly so, as the pasta sheets are obviously freshly made and is just as good eaten cold as it was hot). Happily, a salad came with the entree - yay!
I sadly did not try their dessert as I was to stuffed from the amount of food we had eaten. All that above for approx $20 per person (tax and tip included) plus leftovers! What a great deal!
BTW, the pizzas looked (and smelled) sooo delicious and were made right on the floor. This is what I am trying next time. If you are in the mood for Italian food and want delicious food coupled with great service, great prices, and a good ambiance, you definitely need to make it to this restaurant. I am almost scared that my review will make it even harder for me to get a table next time!

I've had the pizzas and dessert. The pizzas are quite good (Il Pizzaiolo is still supreme though) but forget the desserts. After 2 tries, I am totally happy to fill up on my entree and forgo the dessert. Reservations for 5+ people!
