                                Food and service were great. My only issue was that the seating is extremely close. Having an intimate conversation is difficult, but, the food is worth it.

                                We walked here after seeing a play at the Curran! The place is small but cozy. We had the pear salad, meatballs and got the main entrees - lasagna, gnocchi and a clam linguine. Everything was delicious. The waiter suggested an Italian wine that was wonderful with the dinner and no headache the next day. For desert, we had lemon cake and cream brûlée! The brûlée was extra delicious!
