"we had a great meal here. it's a very old school place - white brick, a \"grotto\" room, wine caged in racks on the walls, a lobster tank, etc. the service was good and the food was better. some entree's and app's were not cheap but the prix fix / table d'hote (?) menu was a good deal. especially notable, the minestrone soup, pizza, fresh pasta and braciole. \n\nalso, on this saturday night there was a vocalist accompanied by a bass player. this has the potential to be terribly annoying, in my opinion, but the sound level was appropriate and once we added a bottle of wine to our table, i find it added to the amusement factor. there was a rendition of happy birthday to someone named margaret, who did not look 95, and older people were dancing. at one point someone whipped out a trombone - i kid you not. \n\nps - yelp, please add \"old school\" to the \"ambience\" check box area. ;)"^^ .
