This place is a rabbit warren of comfortable rooms covered wall to wall with old photos and posters that run the gamut from amusing to downright disturbing, but the overall effect is quite nostalgic of a not quite defined era - maybe the 50s. The Italian American food is served family style and meant to be shared. Although the lasagna was absolutely the worst I've ever had in my life, in fact so bad that our dinner companions who previously loved the place can't bring themselves to go back, the other stuffed baked pastas are delicious. The sampler that features shells stuffed with an intriguingly seasoned sausage, spinach and cheese mix, chicken cannelloni, cheese ravioli and cheese and spinach manicotti is our must have dish, but we've also liked their thin, crispy pizzas. I find their chicken marsala not bad but rather syrupy and recommend chicken or veal saltimbocca instead. The table in the kitchen looks like fun, and they always parade you past it to let you know it's an option, but you must remember to book it in advance. It's a great place to go with family or friends, rather a lot of food if it's just two of you. The staff are friendly and good humored. Two thumbs up.
