After an ill-fated attempt to go to Book Binder's, my husband and I found this nice Italian place instead. We were a bit too casually dressed for Book Binder's and our wallets were not fat enough. I...

I went here with a group of six and had a great time. Excellent food and great atmosphere. The food took a little long to come out - but it's homemade so I wasn't complaining! The gnocchi is ridiculously good!

Great for private parties and group dining. The food is great, generous and the wine list is appropriate. The restaurant itself can get a bit noisy, but perhaps that is part of the charm.

Went again, this time with two other friends. This place definitely falls into the 3.5-4 star range every time. You'll likely never get a 4.5-5 star meal but you're just as likely to never get under...
