| - Pretty darn good! I'm staying downtown for a weekend event and the hotel is within walking distance of this restaurant and the others in this center. I was fortunate to go on a quiet evening so I was able to get some intel from the bartender Nicole.
Quite a big place, about 160 inside and another 140 outside. They have a dozen seats at the bar but a few tables for 6 in the bar area. I would imagine it gets crowded on the weekend. They do have 2 TVs in the bar area so if you want to watch a game, you'll have to sit there.
The outdoor area is very nice, over looking white Christmas light wrapped trees. I can see it being very popular on nice evenings.
I had the cheese stuffed ravioli with spinach, but instead of the normal marinara, I requested a white cream sauce. It was an excellent choice. They top the dish with a cool ricotta cheese, which I used like button on bread as I enjoyed individual bites of the ravioli. They were quite big, cut them into several pieces and relaxed and enjoyed my meal. Also had a glass of their house Pinot Noir, which I preferred to their Angeline Pinot.
Only slight negative, overall price for one entree and one glass of wine, $24 before tip. Even though it was very good, the wine was good and the service was excellent, I think $20 would have made the experience better for me but, they have to pay rent and I'm sure they based it on the neighborhood and other restaurants in the area.
If you're in the mood for Italian and in the area, give it a try and...Enjoy!
