I would consider myself to be a semi-expert on Italian restaurants and this place by far outshines the rest in the Philadelphia suburbs. It also comes close to outshining fine Italian restaurants in Philadelphia in its decor, value, quality, wide selection of choices and interesting exotic game and fish. It is not a ""red-checkered-tablecloth"" type of restaurant like Ralph's or Maggiano's nor is it extremely stuffy like La Famiglia or Vetri. It is a quietly elegant place that gets extremely busy on holidays and on the weekends due to ""word-of-mouth"" business. I go here every chance I get for special occasions or Sunday dinners with the folks. The only negative is that the service is sometimes (though rarely) spotty and frenetic.
Pros: Value, delicious food, interesting and wide selection
Cons: Service
