When I'm in the area I always try to stop in.\n\nThey have everything from awesome takeaway pizza, to a regular sit-down dinner with candles & wine. Alicia, her husband, and the entire staff did a fantastic job getting it off the ground. And the food, service, decor, etc. is still great after all these years. I have always had a great dining experience there. And it's certainly not stuffy--but also a place you feel \"good\" in.\n\nHighly highly recommended. No jackets, ties, etc. required. GREAT FOOD at a REASONABLE PRICE with GREAT SERVICE. If you're in the Heights you probably already know the place. If not, definitely give it a try.\n\nAnd--her mum makes some of the desserts fresh daily--so make sure to try some if they haven't sold out yet. Her desserts are memorable. Again, they are the \"real deal\" Italians.. an absolute treasure in this city.\n\nHighly, highly recommended."^^ . "2008-03-07T00:00:00"^^ . . "0"^^ .
