This place is a bumpin' take-out lunch spot for the office building dwellers in the entertainment district. The food is delicious, but the lines can be long and slow. I love dropping in for lunch, but often regret spending the $15 and 15 minutes on my lunch hour. Such a toss up.
I'm also partial to looking at their beautiful foods on display through glass in true Italian form.
Hints:
The chef's pasta special is always the best choice, unless you are a late diner -- then it will have been sitting under the lights.
If you're getting your food to go, open it up and sprinkle on some fresh parm and chili flakes from their extras station.
