I remember places like Cinelli's back in Queens and Brooklyn growing up. The food is oustanding - there is nothing on the menu that I have had that I would not recommend. The service is casual and always very friendly. We go there at least once or twice a month and we always run into friendly faces among the customers and staff. Be prepared to take part of your meal home - the serving sizes are huge. My top recommendations would be the Penne Rustico or the Tortellini Carbonara. Both are awesome.
Pros: Food, Portion sizes, Friendly wait staff
