The room is small and elbows are close. It is just like a family gathering. The reason we come is for the food and the wine. Go online and look at the menu. Choose a bottle and show up. Yes there will be a line if you did not make reservations. The pasta is the best in the area including Philadelphia. The sauces are fresh and full of flavor. The menu is extensive and full of imagination. When my wife and I have company in town this is the spot for dinner. My parents live in Charlotte and when it town request not by name but by that ""Little Italian place"". When you get your check you will be surprised, even after adding the cost of bottle or two... The portions are large, delicious and well priced. About a year ago I called and made noon reservations on a Sunday for 6. I later found out that they opened an hour early just to accommodate our small family lunch. Service, family atmosphere, and the best Italian food at any price in the area.
Pros: FOOD! service, flexibility, small and family oriented.
Cons: No large groups, but I can live with that.
