    They offered valet parking which was very nice but the guy smokes and it's on his clothes, it's not a big deal but I hate cigarette smoke. The place can be upgraded but I happen to like that old school Italian setting. Service was pleasant and quick. The pasta was definitely homemade and cooked to perfection. I'll be going back to this place, I felt like I was in Staten Island back in the day.

    Excellent service and extraordinary food, seasoned nicely and presented well. I had an old favorite, for the first time in years, the short ribs with Bourbon sweet potato mash and Asian string beans. The ribs were melt in your mouth tender and the presentation was beautiful. Cajun calamari appetizer was tender with loads of tomatoes and scallions and the endive salad is to die for. It was a great evening.
