This restaurant is off the strip and was recommended due to not only the more reasonable price and quality, but also the ability they have to accommodate large groups. There is a lot of history here and our waiter took some time to explain the origins of the restaurant and that the great grandson of the founder currently works as a buser (I think). It really is a family business. In the large dining room we were seated there was someone playing the harp for the entire duration of our meal (nearly 3 hours) which was a really nice touch.
Our waiter was outstanding. Our group enjoyed some nice apps - stuffed mushrooms, calamari and more and the garlic knots they bring you to start were excellent.
My entree was also very flavorful. Definitely a solid Italian spot if you are interested in venturing off the strip.
