We love Italian, we love Italian-American. This is the best of both. The seafood was plump, fresh, and not overcooked, and the sauces for the appetizers - Shrimp Scampi and Mussels Marinara - were so good, we unabashedly kept the sauces for bread and the server wasn't surprised - we must not be the only patrons to have done so! The bread and oil and vinegar were superb and hearty - real garlic and torn fresh basil in the bowl. Its all about flavor here without the pretension. However, unlike some ""Italian"" chains - the food is not swimming in cheese and thick cornstarch-y sauces. Again - this places is all about the flavor. Get a bottle of the Chianti Reserve - pops right out of itself when paired with the garlic and seafood! Oh - and the service and food quality is top-notch. We showed up, at 2:45, 1 1/2 yr old child in tow, and the ONLY people in the restaurant - no one batted an eye and they treated us as if we had been going there for years! We loved it!
Pros: Service, Hours, FOOD!
