The Scene – It's all about simplicity at this warm Italian restaurant. One large, understated room features brick walls, painted concrete floors, and a few paintings of Florence. White tablecloths and bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar dress the tables. The crowd's a happy mix of locals and regulars as well as tourists. – – The Food – Just what you'd expect for classic Italian: pastas, pizzas, salads, antipasti, chicken and seafood--and huge portions.

Average Food, Surprisingly High Prices!

Salads 4/10 Good greens and appetizing-sounding combinations, but both salads were very bland (Caesar dressing was 90% oil). We had to beg for pepper to liven them up.
Entrees 6/10 Decent basic Italian fare. Chicken parm was slightly overcooked but ok (so maybe a 5 on that), and I had a spicy ravioli with roma tomatoes and olives.
Coffee 5/10 The coffee was good, but the cream looked past its prime, and when we asked for a new one, they poured the top half of it into the trash and handed it back to us!
Dessert 8/10 Very good tiramisu. Light and flavorful, well presented.
Service 6/10 Nice enough, prompt except for the check. Oops the pepper non-incident. Oops the cream incident.
Ambiance 6/10 Nice enough.
Value 3/10 We were thinking cheap meal due to the Citysearch rating, but the total was $64 before tip, and we had no alcohol!
- Pros: very good tiramisu
- Cons: poor value, bland salads, inconsistent service
