I first wen to this place with coworkers and it is crazy because I have lived down the street from this place for years! I love Italian food and I cannot believe that I had never tried it! I have always been a Pasta Brioni fan, but this place is just as good! They have a great wine selection and the bread they bring you before the meal...OMG!! It is fabulous! Dont fill up on it too much because then you will miss out on your food! The mussels are Fantastic...there is a little bit to them but that is what makes them so delicious! You get to dip the bread in the sauce...and it takes it to a whole other level! YUM YUM YUM!! I got the pasta with the vodka sauce and the shrimp! The sauce was creamy and smooth...I literaly licked my bowl because their sauce was so good! The reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because the service was slow and the wait staff got several orders wrong and it took a while for our food! I am a very patient person and I was shocked at how long the food took, but the food was so good that I had to keep it at 4 stars! They could have been having a hard night because the restaurant was packed! The food is most important anyway...give this place a try...it is not a large restaurant and it is a nice place for a date!
