Artichokes were good. Pappardelle with mushrooms way too creamy, swimming in sauce. It used to be more refined, not so sickeningly creamy/saucy. It used to be dressed with walnuts & pecorino. I think tastes have changed. Really disappointed tonight.

We had a good meal. We enjoyed artichokes & crab fritters for our appetizers. Our dinner entrees were braciole & chicken cutlet cotelleta. All were delicious. For dessert we shared the chocolate cake. Very good.

Food mediocre. Pasta undercooked in one dish. Rigatoni was noted on menu as coming with eggplant. Dish had no discernible eggplant- looked like a plate of noodles with an unremarkable sauce. Pork chop was bland. Waitress forgot to order one of the entrees so everyone at the table was finished eating before the missing entree was served. Will not return!
