Good, hearty Italian food, Two Italian friends (both 100%) like this place, so that tells me a lot. Watch out for the garlic knots served as bread - they refill them and they are addicting! Salads are cold and tasty, and a generous size. I always get the pasta with arrabiatta sauce - not as spicy as I like but tons of flavor.
If you're with kids, take them early - there is no kids' menu but they are very accommodating about making noodles with oil and cheese, etc. and splitting the plates. It seems to be a popular place for groups of friends to go, and I'm sure a lot of them have sitters with their kids at home so don't appreciate hanging out with anyone else's kids.
