I've eaten here half a dozen times now, and I love the place. The atmosphere is well appointed, yet comfortable. My only caution is: don't sit too near the wood burning oven... it tends to be hot in that part of the restaurant.\r
\r
I love the menu selections.... the appetizers are very good, and I especially recommend their grilled vegetables. Their salads are WONDERFUL, very fresh ingredients, light and delicious dressings, and great selections. I especially love the ""tricolore"" raddiccio, beets, arugula and parmesan shavings on top.\r
\r
Their pastas really are first rate. Two of my favorites are the gnocchi with a yummy creamy gorgonzola sauce, and the tagliatelli (spelling ??) with a wonderful bolonaise, three meat sauce.\r
\r
I'm not as enthusiastic about their meat/fish entrees, only because I was once disappointed in the lamb shank I ordered, and the striped bass in orange sauce I had was pretty good, but not great.\r
\r
Their desserts are exceptional. I had the best Italian lemon ice there that I've ever had, and their chocolate ""molten lava"" cake is really yummy.\r
\r
I've never had their pizza but intend to order it next time I go. It's very popular, judging from the number of people I saw eating it. It's really thin crust and looks really good.
