The food was delicious. The prices were reasonable. The atmosphere was great. Unfortunately the bartender took it upon herself to take my friends change from buying a drink without asking. VERY RUDE!!!! My expectations were so high from all of the reviews.

Had lunch here on Sunday July 6. The place was virtually deserted but great service. I had the grilled polenta appetizer with mushrooms and creamy gorgonzola sauce. Two girlfriends got it as a side, no sauce, no mushrooms for $8. As an appetizer, it's pretty rich. I also ordered asparagus spears as an appetizer and got the server to grate some fresh Parm over it which is a definite improvement. A friend got a chicken cutlet sandwich with broccoli rabe which came with an arugula...

The food here is one of the best in the area.

One thing: Do not go in weekend, busy, hard to park, wait long for food.

It’s our weekday date night place…
