My wife and daughter and I stay here from Italy and delight to find an Italo-American Chef Luigi, basically he works the place, like they will in Italy. LoPresti greets our table and we see he does this with every other table in the restaurant cafe, he even picks up plates, serves the food and is amicable, funny guy speaking in a good authentic accent from Sicily or Naples we guess by the name. We are delighted with simple Bistecca con Friti and salad. We stayed and again Chef appeared smiling with cookies from Italy. Wonderful experience to dine, but on Monday the 1st, we see he is no longer there...Interesante ! So my stars are for the Chef but not for the staff who leave the Chef to do everything in the place!
Pros: Hands-on dedicated Chef
Cons: Slow Service, unprofessional waitstaff
