We went there tonight for the first time. The garlic knots are fantastic. Our friends have been there many times and they custom order the Penne Paesano, not found on the menu (Sal's is open to that, which is awesome). We followed their lead and ordered it ourselves. It was outstanding. It must have looked as good as it tasted, because someone at the next table asked what we were having and he ordered it. He said it was really, really good.
I worked in Little Italy in Toronto for years. I feel I know good Italian food...this is really good Italian food. Also, the portions were huge and the prices are reasonable. I will certainly be back to try the rest of the menu.
