I've been here a few times. The quality of the food was honestly not as good as the Italian joint I had dinner at in the theater district of Manhattan, but I'm not some Yelp snob who complains about places not being "authentic" enough when I've never been to Italy in the first place. The owner has a very lively New Yorker-ish personality and a booming voice. He greets you, takes your order, and is overall a very friendly guy who treats all of the customers well. If this guy ever treats you like crap, then there must be a serious glitch in the system. Everything I've tried here came out pretty quickly, even when there were other large groups of customers, and everything tasted fine. My eggplant parm was also incredibly big for a lunch-sized serving. Overall, it's a neat little lunch place if you happen to be over in that area. Hopefully it manages to stay open longer than the other places that occupied this spot.
