Great serving sizes at a very reasonable price point. Whipped ricotta was delicous, and the bread that it comes with was so good (and they give you so much). I had the Carbonara, great flavor and a good amount of pancetta. Wife had the Chicken Parm, she loved it. Ambiance is great, love the decor and the bar is very classy. Good wine selection at a good price point. My wife and I got 2 apps and an entree each. I had a martini and 2 glasses of wine. Tab was $140, great value. Waitress was very helpful, talked us out of ordering too many apps because we were unaware how large the serving sizes were!
