We got there somewhere around 7 o'clock, were seated within 10 minutes. I was super excited because the atmosphere in this place is outstanding. I mean really great looking restaurant. Old school Italian is the only way I can describe it. We ordered mozzarella sticks as an appetizer and they were fantastic, as well as the salad and wedding soup we ordered. Bread was also really good. However, the main course was not very good at all. My eight-year-old ordered mac & cheese, which I was shocked to learn was Kraft. (as an authentic Italian place, that was kind of weird) I ordered the chicken Romano and the waitress suggested I change the side of pasta to capavelli with a sun-dried vodka sauce... I think that's what it was, but it was a different sauce than on the menu, am my daughter ordered angel hair with basil Alfredo sauce and chicken. First thing, my son said was his mac & cheese tasted funny, I took a bite and it was extremely overcooked. The noodles were mush, and there was no sauce or flavor. My daughter's Alfredo was already separated when it came to the table, and the bottom of the plate was filled with a ton of oil and the noodles were extremely dry. If you bet me money that was an Alfredo sauce, I would've lost that bet. I didn't taste Alfredo at all. We ended up asking for an extra side of Alfredo, and that came out separated as well, and no amount of stirring would put it back together. I'm guessing all of this was microwaved, except maybe the noodles. My chicken Romano was OK. The pasta suggestion from the waitress was absolutely delicious, but the chicken was definitely not panfried long enough, and there was so much butter or Whirl, on it and on the plate that I tried to use my napkin to sop it up. (i'm thinking it was a butter substitute like Whirl based on the taste) Everything was reasonably priced, but we took almost all of the food home accept the mac & cheese, we tossed that. I'm gonna try to fix the pasta with a trick when Alfredo sauce is overcooked and separated, and hopefully I can save it. I think I'm gonna set my chicken breast on a piece of bread to try to soak out the stick of butter (Whirl?) that's on it. Usually I love a great chicken Romano with a well-prepared butter-lemon-caper sauce, but there was no lemon, no caper, just A pool of butter/Whirl. If I can't fix this it's $80 in the trash. I don't make it through this area often, but I will try this place again and order other items because maybe they're way better at something else.

Remember to specify your pasta or you'll get angel hair (I always forget). My wife is italian and the red sauce is just too sweet and sugary for her -- I tend to agree but I still enjoy my dish. They offer various lunch sandwiches which are great. The restaurant is near the courthouse in a residential area on a hillside. There's plenty of street parking but access may be tricky for older or ADA visitors. The interior is small, dated and generally packed with locals. They do accomodate large parties but I'd plan ahead. Pricing isn't bad (typically $15-$18/ea) and you'll leave full.
