    Food pretty good, however prefer king street location for the food and ambience. Waitress a bit brisk. Wines by the glass really not great- returned one glass for another and was charged for both which I thought was a bit much. Tiramisu is a must.

    Pizza excellent. Beet salad also excellent. Cavatelli disappointing, heavy and stodgy. The wine, as with most restaurants, is jaw-droppingly overpriced.

    Portions small for price. Loud. Ask for table near kitchen especially in cold weather. Excellent service.
