Lovely restaurant for a conversation. Bacon wrapped shrimp or stuffed mushrooms appetizer wonderful and not common. I have had dinner there a number of times - entrees will not disappoint. Chicken Marsala has rich flavor and tender moist chicken (I could always use more mushrooms). Rick

Metro Grill once felt more upscale. While the menu is nice, there is more of a sports bar atmosphere these days. Several menu options are strong, though the pasta feels basic compared to most truly Italian restaurants. Service varies greatly by wait staff member.
