I worked across the street from this gem of a restaurant for more than a year, and never failed to eat lunch there at least once a week, or to arrange to meet with clients, business associates, family and friends there when possible. The food is heavenly (try the puttanesca bianca- olives, roasted garlic, capers, slivers of anchovy in a light chicken-broth and white wine sauce with lots of lemon and pepper over linguine, or the amazing amatriciana sauce with pancetta and sweet onions in a delicate tomato puree), the waiters know my name the second time I went, as well as my favorite table and smoking preference. Everything on the menu is so reasonably priced and sooooo good that you can not go wrong, and the waiters and staff are so friendly and helpful that you will feel like you're dining with family.
Pros: Great food, great service, inexpensive
Cons: Not terribly romantic, Decor not amazing
