    With a great, casual neighborhood look and feel, this modern Italian eatery surprised me. Great patio as well. Old Fashioned was good but a bit too sweet.

    The tables were close together and all conversations were loud as the open environment created lots of noise. I felt as if I was on my neighbors table and could contribute to their conversation.
