Phenomenal Italian food and a favorite of mine. A bit pricey, but worth every penny. It is a bit loud and echoey inside, but has a nice and friendly atmosphere. For a bit quieter dinner sit outside and enjoy their patio seating. Be observant of the signs when parking so you don't get a ticket like I did.
