   The food was awesome and the service was great. The people who parked the cars even hustled and were super on service.

   Classic old school Italian restaurant, recipes unchanged for decades. The only issues encountered were slow service to take order (sat for 30 minutes without having ordered any food of any sort) and the place was very warm and bright. The service picked up after other tables left and the temperature adjusted down as well, but still was very bright. Overall I’ll be back as it was a good experience! Delicious food and chocolate tort was awesome.

    The food was wonderful and flavorful. The wait staff was great. It was pricey and I was surprised that the decor probably hadn’t been updated in decades. And we noticed that everybody dining there was over 45. It was the most gray-haired people I’ve seen in one place.
