we ended up at this gem after going to giordano's across the street and being told it would be a 3 hour wait. only a 45 min wait here, and that was on a very busy friday night. they suggested the bar, so we headed down there. fantastic idea. the atmosphere was little italy, the bartenders were superb and new their wines and liquors, and we receivedgreatservice. our waitress was great. she knew the menu, was engaging, and very fun and polite. the food was beyond any that i've had. handmade pasta, gnocchi, and the bolognese was just tasty. get the spicy sausage. to die for. i'm so glad we stumbled on this place. we'll be back for sure!
