I came with a friend because I've driven by a couple of times and it looks like a cute place. It's got a quaint "authentic Italian" look to it--the owners actually hail from Sicily. The food is pretty good, too. Nothing to write home about, but good, decent Italian. The one exception? The calamari. Fantastic. Worth the somewhat high price (although you do get pretty large portions).
Here's the problem I have with this place, though: it tries too hard. The waiters look like they just rented their tuxes from Al's Formal Wear. The music playing in the background was what you would expect to play in the background of an Italian Restaurant in a bad movie. Think "That's Amore" and "Mambo Italiano." Is there some kind of XM radio station that only plays music for Italian Restaurants? If I worked here I'd want to slit my wrists after listening to that stuff for a couple of days.
But again, decent food. If you like the kitsch, the atmosphere is good too. And there's a cute little patio with a great view of the bodega across the street.
