I won't spoil it, but its pretty cool and a nice touch to enter the place. Once you enter, it is dimly lit and feels almost like a mob bar. The host was wearing a nice Italian looking suit and the ambiance and decor of the restaurant screams Little Italy, even though it has a tattoo parlor and a check cashing place right next door.\n\nOnce we were seated, the waitress came over and offered us drinks and told us about the specials which were described excellently. She left and a moment later an assistant had bread and our drinks. We ordered a few moments later and the service never stopped being superb.\n\nThe food came out and it was excellent. I had the ribeye with blue cheese crumb crust and spaghetti on the side with a caesar salad. Very delicious. We stayed in the restaurant for 2 hours but never felt rushed or pressured to leave. The live music that was playing in the background I didn't even realize it was live until I caught a glimpse of the singer.\n\nOverall, I would definitely recommend it. Whether its for a romantic date or just dinner with a good friend, the place works for either occasion."^^ . . . "2"^^ . "5"^^ . "2012-08-26T00:00:00"^^ . "5"^^ . .
