I think the move here is to do the cheese pizza to take home. The dough is great, and at $5.99 there's no better deal in town.
The many newspaper clippings and the overall sense of history have always enticed me but this place is, it breaks my heart to say it, empty for reasons. The family who run it are so nice, but maybe they just don't have the motivation to keep it up the way they used to? The bathroom wasn't clean. The dish washing zone is also front of house and cash - its right in the middle of the small restaurant. The tortellini tasted frozen and the sauce tasted flat and dull, not fresh.
I'd love to see this place really care about the calibre of food and service they provide and really do something great and true to the spirit of old Little Italy. I wish them all the best!
