"We had a very nice Mother's Day dinner here because I'm the mom and I was craving Italiano. This was a last minute plan and I really appreciate that the Hostess who took my call was so upbeat and welcoming. I enjoyed the dim lighting, candles at the table, and large window view of passersby on the street. This was exactly what I was hoping for and I definitely recommend this place for a romantic date night. The type of restaurant setting that makes me put on a nice dress and some heels. The drinks were good. My daughters were delighted that their Shirley's arrived with 3 cherries. The wine and cocktail menus were quite nice. We requested bread because we were all feeling hungrier by the minute. The bread was wonderful. I had a cup of the minestrone soup and it was nothing short of DELICIOUS. My carbonara was great, but the chicken that I added to the meal wasn't the high quality tender grilled chicken breast that I craved. It was dry over cooked chicken that was oily/greasy without any distinct flavor. I did notice that they charge 6.00 if you wish to split a plate with another guest. Typically, when I want to try something new, I'll split it with a girlfriend or one of my kids. So, the 6.00 charge would definitely put quite a damper on what is typically a fun food adventure for our table. I look forward to coming back for another serving of that minestrone soon, because I already know it's delicious. Thanks Pastas"
