| - This restaurant has been around for about as long as I can remember, almost 20 years, but we only recently started going to it a few years ago. I'm not sure why it took us so long, because it's super noticeable coming off the highway heading towards the mall.
Anyways, my dad's a huge fan of Italian food, so he likes to go here whenever he's craving anything like that. They recently started doing family style -- where each Small Plate serves 2-3, and each Large Plate serves 4-5. We were stumped -- we wanted to try a few different dishes, so I asked our server. Enter the Quattro Formaggi, a 2-chicken, 2-pasta dish for $20 that was perfect for us. Great rec from the server, and he took care of us really well.
Food was good -- a little cheesy for my tastes, but I'm not the biggest fan of Italian. It was still good, and my dad liked it a lot. Leftovers were gone within a few hours. Also, their bread is good with the oil and vinegar.
The cool thing about this place is that once you walk in, you've got hundreds of pictures and images on the wall -- I don't think that there's one blank white/red space at all. All black-and-white and sepia pictures of people enjoying pasta, movie stars, baseball players, boxers, you name it. It's kind of overwhelming, but it adds a cozy-ish atmosphere to the place. Very Hollywood.
Overall a good experience, with excellent service. Come with your family.
