                                                              Quality of the ingredients may not be top notch, but they prepared each dish well with the ingredients they have to offer dishes in reasonable pricing. For example, the rib eye steak ($51) itself may not have much flavor to it, but they cooked it in a way to still enjoy it with wine. Carbonara wasn’t my favorite because it tastes almost like carbonara salad with a hint of mayonnaise taste to it. Octopus was cooked perfectly and was so tender that my fiancé who normally wouldn’t care for octopus even loved it. The servers are all welcoming and sweet, and the ambiance was nice. Overall, you will feel that you get the value because their portion is pretty good, too. We ordered those 3 dishes and had enough left over to serve another person. I recommend this place and would come back here again.

Last night's feast featured an artichoke sformata (flan), paccheri with wild mushooms and cream, spaghetti alle vongole e sugo, with an equally delicious Barbera d'Alba. Also check out their hidden dining room downstairs... love this place!

We were a party of six and had a great time - split the suppli and fried smelts as appetizers. Then porchetta, carbonara, saltimbocca, pasta with the rags - everyone was happy with their food. The neighborhood looks a bit forlorn with so few people around, but will be back to 54 Mint for the food!

Only negative was the noise. Once the restaurant began to fill hearing my wife across the table became all but impossible. We would have stayed longer but just could not hear
