"While searching for $ Italian restaurants, this restaurant's ad came up in Yelp (I guess ads work!) but I didn't realize until just now that this restaurant is listed on Yelp as $$. I assumed it was in the $ category that I was searching. But it might even belong in the $$$ category as entr\u00E9es were mostly in the $20-$40 range. \n\nWhich leads to my biggest complaint about this place - it was much more expensive than I had expected. \n\nThe personal pizzas my wife and oldest son had underwhelmed - they found them a little dull. \n\nThe littlest one got a big bowl of spaghetti, which made him happy.\n\nTwo other sons were happy with their salmon, and lobster ravioli, respectively. \n\nAnd I was very happy with my eggplant parmesan.\n\nMy wife & i both enjoyed our house merlot.\n\nThe service was quite good from start to finish. Our waiter was personable, responsive and attentive, as was his busgirl assistant.\n\nI found the ambiance just right. There were many photos and murals on seemingly every wall, celebrating the beauty of both Italy and America. This restaurant definitely had much more character than one might find in a $-category strip mall eatery. This restaurant is free standing, and quite large inside, while still very cozy.\n\nPlan to spend at least $25 per person."^^ . "2014-11-04T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . "4"^^ . .
