Nice experience: the food was terrific, as was the service. Difficult to hear each other often at a table for four unfortunately. Still, will return but early before lunch and dinner.

The calamari was overly breaded, fried. My shrimp appalling was not the best: shrimp was a bit undercooked. The dish was drenched in tomato sauce.

Hmmm... are they cheating people with Panchetta instead of Guanciale (shown on the menu) in their Carbonara? It was still very good.

The gnocchi are a creamy delight. The red snapper in a Mediterranean preparation, equally delicious. The ribs, ditto, and the halibut. All carefully prepared. Prices are reasonable. Service is friendly and attentive. And there is no rush to turn over your table. Bottom line: a very good restaurant, well worth your patronage. Enjoy.

The heat was not working. It was 58 degrees inside. They should not have opened. Most customers were eating while still wearing their coats. We all should have been offered some free hot drinks, but were not.
