"If you 're looking for that quaint, romantic, dimly lit authentic Italian restaurant... this ain 't it. The restaurant is small and crowded, a bit loud, and brightly lit, but the food is pretty good and the staff are very friendly and efficient. Won 't take you on a journey to Italy, but it 'll fill your belly with decent Italian food. The spaghetti ai ricci di mare $37) is a very popular dish. I got the spaghetti alla carbonara $26), which was very good. The pappardelle alla bolognese $26) was good as well. Tiramisu was good for dolce, but the panda cotta was better. With a bottle of wine and tip, we spent $200. Reservations are a must, or you will wait an hour or two. It was good, but wouldn 't call it a must ."
