I don't get it. This place is almost always full and a lot of the diners are Italian families, so I was expecting the food to be amazing like the restaurants in downtown Little Italy. But it was a big letdown.
We got the oreccheiette aromantica (pasta with crumbled sausage and olive oil) and the crespelle napoletana (crepe pasta stuffed with different cheeses bathed in tomato sauce). Both were average at best (oreccheiette: dry sausage, pasta was on the hard side of aldente; crespelle: good flavour but too much sauce that it was almost a bit soupy). Maybe this place used to be great, and you can see hints of it in how the dishes tasted. But how they were cooked definitely didn't do the recipes justice. Too bad, was definitely hoping for more.
