Review from Robert G.

Interesting that both reviews so far are from non-residents, because this place is sort of hidden, but its a treasure. Its in the basement of a building and feels exactly like my grandmother's house - lace doilies and all. Only 1 waiter - an older gentleman (possibly the owner?) was very gracious and the whole experience was pleasant. The food was classic northern Italian. Huge portions of pasta. The red clam sauce was particularly good. BYOB!!

Atmosphere, don't get me wrong, was great.Decor was like being in someone's grandma's place. Service was friendly but man oh man was it slow. The waiter was the only one serving, not only that but we are 99% sure he was the only one in the kitchen cooking. We came at 7 30, left at 9 15. That's a long time. He was honestly a very sweet man, and was very nice but I think we waited too long for the food. I ordered a clam linguini which was just ok, and my friend had a veal which was overcooked, my boyfriend had a tomato/parmesan sauce linguini which was also just ok. I appreciated the homemade cooking and work put into it though. I think the only dish I liked was the soup the most (chicken broth, egg, and spinach) But wait for the food was way too long, and the prices were a bit high for the food. Don't think I'd come back, as much I loved how nice the waiter was and the decor.

Small byow owned and run by an older Sicilian couple. It has been a while since my last visit, but I have fond memories with friends, family and on dates.
The food is generally very good. Although on my last visit I ordered the trout and wasn't crazy about it (hence the 4 stars). I do recall enjoying the quail.
The setting is very homey, the walls are covered with all sorts of decorations and trinkets. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and the owners are simply delightful. One of the best choices of restaurant in the area. -

This restaurant is a little out of the way, which is perfect so it doesn't get the pass-by crowd. Since this was an "Apportez votre vin" (AVV - and apparently one of the few in the near downtown area), the costs were very fair and the food was excellent. The night we went, the owner, I think, was a one man show but was very amiable and amusing. If we had stumbled onto this place earlier in our stay, we would have returned.
