    Great restaurant off the plaza by a few blocks. Homemade pasta makes a huge difference. Vincent, our server, was fantastic. Leno the owner came by to say hello. Great ambience and decoration for the holidays. Made kids plates off the menu, which were excellent. Great value for the quality.

    Andiamo is just an all around good experience, from service to food to the intimacy of the room. Decent value for the buck spent as well. It is not a resto that one hears a lot about, but it delivers, with out the razzmatazz and the high pricetag.
