I don't think it's the way it really works, but every time I eat at Tillies I hope and dream that the lady in the big wall portrait is in the back making my food. The gnocchi are fabulous...they taste like they were made with wrinkly old grandma hands. It may not be the swankiest joint and it may not be in the best part of town but it certainly has some treasures...I highly recommend Tillies!
