GREAT ITALIAN FOOD without N. Beach prices, parking or wait times. We take out of town guests here including the Italian ones. Everyone loves it. It has a wonderful neighborhood atmosphere. Most of the staff are Italian or speak it fluently. This isn't the Americanized red sauce stuff. (I do not think I've ever eaten anything here with a red sauce.) The wine list is simple yet it has many wonderful wines of Italy with a knowledgeable staff. I've learned the owner / chef had a restaurant in Rome before coming to America and many of the wait staff are Italian students. The staff works well together. The fish specials are wonderful but don?t expect to see salmon in 2008 because it is not available wild and they do not serve farmed. (Yah!) Although we live in the East Bay, we have become regulars. Were a little biased but for good reason. Buon appetito! PS: The bread is really fresh and gooood...
