Flavors were legit! Service was EXCELLENT and quiet ambiance was perfect for conversation. Be advised: It's BYOB, so if you require wine to fully enjoy Italian food do your shopping in advance.

All food was fantastic. It was really hot and humid in there when we first walked in, I think because of the weather outside and they were accommodating and turned on the air when we asked.

This was a lively find for us, who are devoted lovers of Italy. Small, locally popular. Unfortunately this was also the evening a huge event took over one level and altho all went well for us and the food was lovely, the poor waiter was terribly busy (as was the kitchen, I presume) so service was slow. We will certainly return.
