"All the comments about the warmth and welcome of the staff, are in stark contrast to my experierence as a single woman eating at the bar sparadicaly over the years. I live two blocks away. As I am not a regular and a woman alone, I am tolerated. That 's it. Case in point, this evening. I came in, sat at bar, ordered a glass of red wine and a menu. Was never informed of the specials or even asked if I would like to be so informed. Nor afforded any sort of acknowledgement by the host, who effusively else. All of which made me an observer and was rather appalled to hear a server inform a table he was out of livet, but who cares!?. Effectively insulting everyone within hearing distance who likes liver, including diners at the table he was addressing and me. Then there is the woman who isapparently training observing in sime capacity, who is inappropriately dressed and completely ugnored by staff bustling around her. A conundrum and cringe-worthy. I love the food here and the old school ambiance... and would come more often, except for the fact there are so many places in the 'hood and beyond where I am accorded more warmth and welcome. All the above said, Jenny Genie (sp? , the bartender this evening was the most pleasant I have ever encountered here in the 20-ish years I have done my sparodic dining thing."

The dishes were of good quality, but the service felt hurried as they tried to accommodate new guests. Additionally, the noise level was quite high.

One of Our Favorite Italian Restaurants! We've been dining at this restaurant for years, and every dish we've tried has been excellent. The waitstaff reminds me of the classic New York steakhouse servers. They seem to be dedicated professionals who genuinely enjoy their work and their customers, and they can be quite entertaining at times. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and we appreciate the complimentary appetizers they serve before you place your order. Additionally, their pours for well drinks and wine are very generous.
