"I live about a five minute walk from this place, and it only took me about nine months to finally stop in. I am pretty sure that I will be visiting there once or twice a month. I had the Orecchiette con Ossa e Bracciole, which is Beef Sirloin Roulades simmered in neckbone Ragu, filled w/Pancetta, Parmesan, Garlic Parsley. It came with some kind of pasta on the side, and it was incredibly delicious. Their prices are not cheap. However, I am never concerned about price when the food is so good. I have never had the opportunity to 'hang out ' at any real Italian restaurant (having grown up in a small town , so it is my intention to properly learn how to dine the Italian way. I read reviews about the noise level, and all I can say is that this is not the place for a romantic tryst. This is a place to satisfy your pallet...A great place to dine with friends. I survived it all by myself. I did not feel out of place at all."
