| - I ordered a meal for myself for carry-out on a Monday night.
Food: delicious. Calamari was light, excellently cooked, and deliciously salty. Just enough. Marinara dipping sauce was fine. Rather simple, but complemented the calamari. Manicotti was fine. It was moist, packed with ricotta.
Price / value. This is where I have to give a pretty low rating. I was kind of surprised by the prices on the online menu but was intrigued and wanted Italian tonight so i ordered despite the average $13+ price on every item. I am even more disappointed after picking up my order and seeing the TINY servings. For a $27 meal I have a small order of calamari ($13) that was fine for me - one person who eats like a bird. If i was sharing this appetizer it would have hardly been satisfying. The manicotti ($14) was comprised of two small enchilada style servings, each smaller in length than my fork. At $27, i was expecting to have dinner and enough for lunch tomorrow. Not a chance.
Ambiance: quaint restaurant, moderately busy for a Monday at 7 PM. Noise wasn't too bad. Indoor seating looked comfortably spaced, Bar had televisions with traditional bar seating and high tops, outdoor seating available on a small but cozy patio. Decor was pleasant and noise level was just fine for a nice dinner for two or a small group.
All in all, if you're looking for a reasonable meal or if you're on a budget, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for a nice meal, price doesn't matter, this may become your new favorite place.
