We started with the prosciutto & figs and crunchy eggplant appetizers... both were very good. For main courses, we had spaghetti aglio, olio et pomodoro and taglitelli bolognese... both were excellent... pastas were al dente to perfection. The restaurant was fully booked so we sat in the bar area. Lots going on, in a positive way. A very good dining experience, staff was pleasant and accommodating. It is a bit pricey, though. We had two appetizers, two main courses (both pastas and not meat/fish dishes) with one beer and two soft drinks and the bill, before tip, was over $70. We will return.

Came highly recommended, very disappointed, waiter was very good, food & presentation poor, people who say this place is great, are people who judge quality cost, i.e the more you spend the better the food. The place was full of phonies and gourmet wannabees.
