It was cool, so we sat inside. The menu is traditional with antipasti, pasta course, second course, desserts (dolce), and drinks. Reasonable prices. It's in Italian, but our server spoke a bit of English. (Tip: if you're stuck in an Italian restaurant, try asking Quali ti piace piu [Qua-lee tee pee-ah-chee pew] "Which do you lke more".) Anyway, I got a bolognese over fettuccine and a seafood dish in a tomato sauce, this may have been the best Italian meal I've had. Bolognese - delicious. Pasta - perfectly cooked. The seafood if a mix of clams, mussels, calamari, and shrimp with the head on. So you have to work a little for a great flavorful dish. Definately visit here if in the area.
