Editorial Review
Been on the block since '93, still serving to the same set of locals and tourists. No frills, family-run Italian joint succeeds on the weakest-link philosophy, as in you're only as strong as. Nothing groundbreaking, but when the sauce is this good and the pasta this al dente, who the hell cares? Anybody who isn't having their meal paid for, for one: menu's a hell of a lot more expensive than it should be, and décor isn't included in your check (that expense was paid off years ago and hasn't been reconsidered since). That being said, service is as good as you can ask for, and food rarely fails.
