A good friend of mine took me on a lunch date years ago and I have always enjoyed this restaurant for being consistant. The seating both inside and the patio have always been a Gem, the food and service have been real and always on the 4star side from where I am sitting. Friday and Saturday nights offer music which can set back a reservation and that is somthing I have learned to roll with. This can be a problem but the restaurant has grown on me and I do feel I am at home in a nice homey cafe in Italy. So when I add the price, location, food and service it all deserves the 4 stars. I might be there with my wifefor a nice dinner or lunch and I know a group will all have a great casual time.

The best thing this place has going for it is the space it's in. Nice large area, open feeling, and comfortable. The quality of the food, however, doesn't come close to matching the quality of the decor. Bread: sans character and nutrition--just white bread. (It was warm, a nice touch.) The tricolor dish was lackluster. The gnocchi itself was fair, the sauce had as much character as the white bread. You can easily get better pesto pasta at Trader Joe's. And the fetuccine alfredo was average--the cream sauce had a sort of slight metallic flavor. The look and feel of the entire presentation just felt empty of effort. The dish could have just went from the freezer to the microwave to our table for all we knew. Kind of a shame this beautiful space is being so underutilized. So much potential, such a weak result.
Pros: The space.
Cons: Food not impressive.
