The food is AMAZINGLY good!!! I crave this place all the time! Portions appear small but somehow I always feel full. I recommend the Pesto pasta and the Short Braised Pasta. This isn't your typical italian at all! The atmosphere is great! You can see the chefs cooking in their open kitchen. The layout of the whole restaurant is nice too. Only thing I don't like is unless you want to walk from across the street, you are forced to valet park ... not my style.
