    Overall, it was decent, not exceptional. Service was great. Good timing between apps & main course, which is always nice. Calamari was a little tough & no legs (a favorite) Ceasar salad was nice (big) short rib ravioli was bland, sauce was too sweet. Bari (rigatoni with shrimp,mushrooms & spinach was delicious (all loved it) even brought some home. Gnocchi was delicious as well. Good spot, byob. Oh yeah focaccia w/ pesto was fantastic. Worth the experience. And a return visit.
