Making a reservation over the phone was somewhat vague, however the gregarious Italian gentleman was most gracious and very accommodating. There were 4 of us to dine for the first time. Upon arrival, my first impression was "oh yes a great Italian hole in the wall." The ambience was a haphazard atmosphere of charm elegance and whimsy. We sat at the bar, and ordered our first cocktails. Our bartender was attentive and made excellent drinks. As we sat down to dine, we realized how intensely warm it was in the restaurant, feeling the heat from the kitchen coming out and most likely lack of air conditioning. Our server was efficient and polite. It seemed that the restaurant was a bit short staffed, as our server was constantly busy. The complementary bread, was delicious almost like a tasteful and flavorful pizza crust with EVOO. Entrée included lobster ravioli and a white sauce that was delicious with just a bit of spice and tang. The beef tenderloin meatball special was awesome. Another entrée, the salmon ( charred and dry) with puttanesca was flavorful. The restaurant was full, and diners seemed happy and well attended to. We definitely will be back! I must also add, that the Groupon was very helpful as the items on the menu are pricey.
