I've been here twice, and it's a nice place to go for a relaxed dinner and great conversation, but don't go in a hurry. The service has been excruciatingly slow both times, and the second time we were almost the only ones left later in the evening. We ordered a sampling of mostly appetizers, and our frequently AWOL server forgot one, which came out 15 minutes later completely cold. Yay competent waitstaff. Luckily we were seated outside for great people watching, and had some good friends for conversation.
The food was good but not amazing, and I'll agree that it was overpriced. We used a Restaurant.com gift certificate, which was about what I was willing to pay. It's been a while since I was there and no dish stuck out in my mind in either a good or bad way, but I'd go back again (gift certificate in hand) for some good Little Italy people watching.
