We waited until we lived next to Etna for two whole years before trying it out...and now I'm wondering why we did! The chef is Italian and the food is authentic. I had tortellini in a meat sauce which was actually more like meat with sauce. (That's definitely a good thing!) Overall, the food is okay; I don't feel like I have been made a regular. The prices are a bit high for the mediocrity that we were met with on our plates.
The only thing that's a little weird about this place are the hours. I'm never sure when they will be open, but that seems to be the way a lot of Little Italy is.
Our server was pretty fantastic as far as the whole recitation goes. He must have a steel trap of a memory to have all of those specials nailed. They were just hard to remember when he was done...I felt like I should have taken notes.
