    First visit to Don Cheech for my party of 4 and we will be back. Fantastic service , great ambiance and the food was spectacular. Great bar with wide selection The oysters are served cold and fresh . We had the veal valdastana and chicken parm for entrees which were the best I have ever had. Mas and his wife (the owner) are on site , personable and great individuals. The quality , portions and service are worth it. Can’t wait to get back Thanks Don Cheech !

    After many evenings at Pastavino. I have not been disappointed by the food this far. There’s always a crowd that they do their best to accommodate. On our last visit, it was the first time we were harassed by the waiter regarding the amount of his tip after ignoring us for the last hour and a half we were there. How embarrassing and rude. There’s plenty of options on SI that negate the need to tolerate such behavior.
