Another fine meal at this establishment. Good, solid dishes. Menu is a bit limited, with only 4 options for secondi plus two specials for total of 6 entrees to choose from. The portion size could be slightly larger for the pastas considering they are priced a bit higher than other fine Italian dining venues in the area. They didn't prepare the Cacio a Pepe tableside as they did before. It was delicious and probably the highlight dish of the night. Would definitely recommend for solid Italian dining, but not quite on level with some of the top Italian dining spots (Angelini Osteria, et al.) .
