“Warm-hued walls patched with large frescos of the Italian countryside give an old world feel to this tiny business district dining room. A good mix of business diners, date duos and "regulars" take up the dark wood tabled to dine on traditional, house-made dishes like fried calamari, Zuppa Di Pesce and Veal Parmigiana.” (On-line description.)
Good place for large groups even though it’s a relatively small restaurant. A group of 12 of us ate there one night during MLA, and everyone enjoyed the meal. The staff has always been very accommodating when I’ve eaten there, and the food is yummy. It’s also BYOB. (Cantalupo review)
