Spent $30 at the bar for two drinks with tip. We ordered bucatini amatriciana with sausage added and spaghetti con polpette. The meals included salads and hot rolls which were enjoyable. Neither of us enjoyed the pasta entrees. The bucatini was heavily sauced and spicy rendering it not enjoyable. The spaghetti sauce was very bitter and the meatballs were not flavorful. We each ate about half our meals and opted for no dessert. Our bill was $79 (including one more cocktail)...read full review
