Chicken in a garlic cream sauce on spinach raviolis with a nice bottle of wine, or the gnocci or the mixed grill or... In other words, this is a great little neighborhood place. Oh, and also try their carrot cake.

At the 11th hour our plans got switched to next Tuesday, so I'll report next week. Thanks for all the info, sounds like a little charm of a place.

I like this place. They'll cook to your needs, and do it well. Try the homemade cake for desert. Yum!
Enjoy,
CocoDan

I like the gnocchi with meatballs there. The red sauce is very good (as are the gnocchi), and the meatballs are outstanding.

It's a very small place, and like MC says, it's a bit overlooked on this board (and in general).

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I will let you know tomorrow.

Expect a very modest, casual, family type of place with big portions of Italian-American food at recession-friendly prices. Some fried apps, big salads, sandwiches, giant plates of pasta, a few meaty entrees. I think the chef is Greek, so you may spot some Greek influences here and there, notably on specials. Dinner ends pretty early, around 9pm (they're open for breakfast and lunch, too). Beer and wine. A nice little neighborhood place, doesn't get much play here.
