I have to say that I just love this place. We come here en masse every year with a visiting scholar (usually around 12 of us) and it is absolutely delightful. The ambience is lovely; the bar is beautiful; the dining area feels comfortably separate from the bar. We've always had excellent service and excellent food. And the desserts are fabulous! Don't miss out on the sorbet...
Once we were there while a large event was taking place in the adjoining room and I was happy to note that they had a different staff for the party so there was no trouble catching our server if need be. And the party looked to be well taken care of.
Overall, one of my favorite places in Little Italy.
