    A perennial favorite with a solid menu and interesting specials so that there's an option for every palate. Loved the squash blossoms, mushroom flan, and vegetable salad with shrimp. Sombreri and Mufalde pastas were excellent, same with the squid ink pasta with shrimp special. Always love the smoked old fashioned!

    The food was excellent! We were seated at a table for two that was at the end of a party of 10 and at the feet of a four top, so needless to say my dining companion and I couldn't hear anything but the fun being had all around us. There were several two tops around the perimeter of the courtyard, but when we requested one of those, we were told that they were reserved (we also had a reservation) that were more out of the way and would have been a better situation for us. Instead of lingering over our meal and enjoying the ambience, we skipped starters and took dessert to go. We may order to go in the future because the food was stellar. Of course perhaps someday the secret to reserving a table that isn't tacked on to the end of another large party in the center of a loud room is revealed to us. It is difficult to enjoy a meal when one feels claustrophobic and sadly a bit neglected by the staff. The couple that entered at the same time received drinks and bread before we received any acknowledgement from the staff. It could have just been that we were perceived as part of the larger parties that were being well taken care of--who knows--these things happen. The pistachio cheesecake and the lasagna were standouts!

    Mario and his team always make us feel like they have invited us over to their house for dinner. The wait staff is so warm and engaging and that's even before you get food. The pricing is so reasonable and the food is so genuine. We love introducing new people to this restaurant.
