2005-11-14 06:11:30 Do they have a liquor license yet? When we went, we had to bring out own wine. They'll open and serve it for you, but if you don't bring any, you have to eat Italian without Chianti —GeorgeHaberberger

2006-10-09 13:17:35 This place uses *fresh* pasta, which is very tasty. Some people think it's undercooked since it's soft, but it's not; it was just never "hard" to begin with. —BenMargolis
2006-10-20 13:56:39 I was very disappointed by the food. Maybe the taste of fresh pasta just doesn't agree with me—I found it squishy and almost bland. I say 'almost' because there was a hint of a taste I really didn't like. On the positive side, the service was very good. The taste thing may just be my own personal preference; go ahead and give it a try for yourselves. —RachelBlumenthal
