It probably helps it's a sister restaurant to the upscale Tomaso's, right next door.\n\nThe crowd was mixed, but it was definitely dominated by older people-middle-aged and senior citizens. It was nice to see fans of Tomaso's be loyal and check out his newer eatery. There were also lots of families, and some young couples.\n\nThe dining experience didn't feel rushed at all, despite the bustling atmosphere. The restaurant is divided into two rooms, with tables throughout the rooms, making for an especially home-y feel.\n\nWe started with a huge bottle of Malbec wine ($30) that provided more than four glasses of the delicious red wine. For appetizers, we had vegetarian Pasta E Fagioli ($7), a brand new item that was chock full of white beans. It was a great meal starter, and it rocks it was meat-free.\n\nThen we split a pizza with olives ($12). The pizzas are wood fired, just like at Pizzeria Bianco and Cibo. It wasn't burnt like Bianco's, but it wasn't as thin and doughy like Cibo's. It was a generous portion with huge chunks of mozzarella, but I would have loved for the pizza to be a little less crispy.\n\nFor dessert, we had tiramisu ($5), one of the best tiramisus I've ever had. It was the perfect creamy consistency, and it melted in your mouth. I would say go to Tommy V's just for the tiramisu alone.\n\nIt makes sense why Tommy V's is so popular. The staff is excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. It reminded me of a big city restaurant, like one in New York and San Francisco."^^ . "2012-07-10T00:00:00"^^ .
