They offer generous portions , good wine, and interesting cocktails. We weren't rushed at all and they let us sit and talk. The only drawbacks were related to the restaurant space. It's in a townhouse, so there isn't much room between and around the tables and the restrooms were up a steep flight of stairs, where there is another dining space. It would be hard for people with limited mobility to get into the restaurant and enjoy themselves.

At least one person gets the lasagna every time we go (we've all had it at some point) and anyone who doesn't get it kind of regrets it just a little haha. The bread and dip they start you with is kind of like a pesto and is excellent. Cocktails are very good and authentic. They have a nice selection of wines and Sundays have half price bottles. Inside is very charming. And when it's nice out, the outside dining is great. Loved ending the meal with their delicious tiramisu!
