    Our group of 4 had great meals. The quiche was the best I have had. We were there for News Years Day Brunch. We were seated upstairs which was quiet but very warm. A ceiling fan would be helpful. It will be hot in the summer. Our initial service was prompt but the server had tables up and down so his attention flagged as he tried to help everyone. We are eager to return and sit outside on the extensive sidewalk dining area.

    Nice neighborhood Italian restaurant. We went in Christmas Eve. I was in town for work and wanted an Italian meal for Christmas Eve. Found this restaurant on Open Table. We arrived early intended to have a few cocktails at their bar. The place was packed to the extent they had given reservations at their bar which is pretty small. They got us a seat at the bar and we had a couple drinks as planned before our table was ready. Once seated server was very prompt our food came out fast and was very good. I was surprised they didn’t have a traditional Christmas Eve Italian menu but they made me spaghetti agli olio off the menu and it was very good Great value for the night. I would return again and recommend it to others.

    Over all good food, the squid ink seafood pasta was a little disappointing.
