The food is always excellent; I've never left hungry. It's authentic Italian recipes, and with it authentic Italian characters. There's usually a man in a track suit and the staff looks at you like you're a nuisance. But I love it. Some reviewers found the staff rude, but I think it adds to the ambience. I've had the gnocchi, spaghetti, lasagne, stuff bell peppers, and lobster linguine. All are great! I'm always ready to return.
