My husband and I went there on a busy Friday night after calling about 45 minutes before for reservations. We got a terrific seat a booth near the bar which was exactly what we had hoped. The server was terrific, in fact the entire wait staff was very well trained. We had a minor issue with a pepper mill which was resolved immediately without a call for help...they just noticed and solved the problem. The food was excellent. He had salad, veal saltimbocca and I had soup of the day (mushroom) and the eggplant parmesean. The eggplant was baked not fried which made for a light vegetarian entree. Our bottle of wine (brunella) opened up quickly and was a good value. No room for dessert which looked delicious as we saw it go by. A complimentary glass of grappa made up for it. We'll be back!
