This large subterranean space is decorated in rather "ersatz" Italian fashion, but the food includes many of the same dishes as served in the home country, with some variations for strictly American palates. Located in a very eclectic restaurant area, close to South Street, this longstanding eatery has a devoted following of regulars who frequently use it as a base before proceeding to... more

The filet is an excellent cut than I've had at... more

Our bread and apps came out about 10 minutes later,... more
