Editorial Review

A decade along still drawing rabid crowds by continuing to crank out reliable, rustic Italian. Pastas rule: homemade gnocchi, lasagna, black spaghetti. Come on Thursday for tasty veal and risotto special. Wood paneling out front sets tone for interior as homey as your living room. If your living room were packed with every single hungry, budget-conscious diner in the East Village. Ramshackle garden has charm aplenty to justify the lengthy waits.
