"It feels like one of the last great neighborhood joints is still going strong, but, thankfully, there are still plenty of other great neighborhood joints. You can't escape that feeling here, though--so friendly, packed during peak times, people rubbing elbows indoors and out on the patio. Good cocktails, amazing values on the wine list, and awesome hearty Italian cooking. Scratch-made Caesar salad, sandwiches that can feed 3-4 people, fantastic pasta dishes going many different directions across the menu. The specials are really where it's at here. The bread they bring out for the table is fresh and excellent."
