Some really good things here, BUT! First, I know they play business Pandora; just please not so loud. Second, no anchovies. Seriously, how can you claim Italian roots and not offer anchovies? So, I went with salami on my Caesar salad; quite good. The olive plate was strange, but kudos for the tapanad. Back to the salad; good parmesan, but crotons are supposed to add crunch. The eggplant parm was decent but didn't speak of Italy. Oh, the relatively stark ambiance is fine. The staff were adequate. Not a place to which I'd bother returning but I wouldn't refuse.
