    I have dined several times at this restaurant. It is delightful sitting in the patio area. I have to admit I usually order only pasta entrees.

    Early birds due to theatre schedule. Plenty of seats get crowded outdoors only later in the evening. Good food and service. Menu is extensive trending Italian. Reasonable wine list. Only licensed for beer and wine. Outdoors is quiet with the occasional vehicular noise. Parking is free but limited. We recommend the establishment.
