I have been to this restaurant a few times and enjoyed their delicious food along with their authentic Italian atmosphere, ie, music and styling. One of the best things they have is that before every meal, they will give you a plate with olive oil and spices for you to dip their amazing hot bread into. I haven't tried many meals there but I do like their cheese pizza. This is made from actual mozzarella cheese pieces, fresh tomatoes, basil, and drizzled with olive oil with a just thick enough crust. It actually makes a perfect appetizer for 2 or simply a good size meal depending on how hungry you are. They also have tasty alcoholic drinks there and a bar. I'm not sure if you'd be able to bring your own wine/liquer, but it's possible.
Also, a reservation is not needed but good to get if you don't want to wait for an hour (when it's really busy). Plenty of seating; nice sized place. Dress is not quite casual but you don't have to get all dolled up either.
This place is actually right across the highway from Mr. Assante's Pizza, so if you would rather just a quick slice of pizza, that would be your place.
