    This restaurant is remarkable in that it is located at a grocery store, albeit a legitimate Italian market. The restaurant operates as if it were independent as the level of quality of food and service are comparable or better than many standalone restaurants. Great well chosen wine list that also showcases the incredible selection in the grocery store wine department. Menu & wine list prices are very reasonable and offer great value. The food and service are very consistent which is refreshing given today’s challenges much of the restaurant industry faces. Seemingly little turnover of staff is a credit to ownership and management.
