Nice neighborhood, family-owned Italian restaurant, not fancy but very comfortable. Service was outstanding by a very knowledgeable young lady acting with extreme professionalism. We started with the Crispy Polenta Chips for an appetizer; they were cooked perfectly light crispy exterior with a smooth cream inside. Our table had four entrees: 1) Eggplant al Forno - 4 breaded slices of eggplant with a side of Capellini with a light tomato sauce. Rate 4/5. 2) Spaghetti Carbonara - Appeared to be Pancetta rather than Guanciale, but still very good. Sauce could use some work. Rate 3.5/5. 3) Crab Cake (special off menu) - Two crab cakes served with Risotto and veggies. Rate 5/5. 4) Pappardelle Bolognese - Typical Bolognese, the other guest thought it was one of the best he'd had. Rate 5/5. Portions were large, leaving plenty for lunch the next day. The bread was excellent!!
