| - If you're looking for casual Italian, this is a good place to go. I really wish I could complain more about this place because the waiter messed up my order, but the wrong item he brought me was really good.
Here's what happened: My friends asked the waiter what he recommended for pasta and he suggested some kind of pasta BOLOGnese, and they ordered that. When he took my order, I said "I'll also have the pasta BOLOGnese," I was craving pasta. When our orders came, they got pasta dishes and I received something piled deep under green leaves. Turns out he heard me order the Veal MILANese, and then he gave me attitude about it. Dude, you just recommended some bolognese stuff to half our table and I said I would also have that! He did offer to replace the item, but I was too hungry to wait and didn't want my friends to wait for me to finish whenever I did get my replacement order, plus I already angered the guy that brings the food, so I wasn't going to risk it. Conveniently for them, the Veal Milanese was one of the pricier entrees...
It should be a sign to you how good the food is that I gave them 4-stars despite my little kerfuffle. Seriously, it was not easy trying to maintain a pissed-off front while eating that rather great Veal Milanese. A lot has been mentioned about the quality of the bread, yes, it is also really good.
The pizzas aren't necessarily great, they're alright, we shared one as an appetizer, didn't really leave me craving more, I didn't even try to fight for the last slice. Also, and this is very European of them, they serve the tiny-bottled sodas, meaning refills aren't free, and that is annoying.
To recap: great bread, good entrees, meh pizza, tiny sodas, and a waiter you should be REALLY clear with.
