First, let's get one thing straight - the user reviews here all miss the mark, I mean REALLY miss the mark. Are these real customers or friends of the owners This place is cramped, is plastered with zagat plaques on every wall (uuh, tacky), has red vinyl ""tablecloths"", rickety little chairs, and, in my personal opinion, is a dump - not ""charming"" as others have described it. I found this to be one of the most stressful service experiences I've ever had. The waiter basically shouts ""What do ya want, pasta, veal, chicken? I said, ""Well, how are they prepared? Do you have a menu? ""No menu"" he replied. Too much machismo and testosterone in that restaurant - you can still be macho and have polish, but these guys are very ""rough."" Anyway, I was hoping the food would make up for all of this. I wound up doing something I though would be safe, penne pasta with vodka sauce The worst, and let me repeat, the worst penne alla vodka I have ever had. The pasta was undercooked and the sauce was watery - neither was piping hot, more like lukewarm. I grew up on Tuscan cooking - this place is an embarassment to Italians and to Italian cuisine. The last thing that ticked me off was the ""bill"". The waiter basically comes over and gives you the ""number"". I'm leery...cash only, no bills, no written itemized list of items sold, hmmm? Anyway, this place is a ripoff (high prices for a VERY low end experience)...go to a proper Italian restaurant for the money...they are literally printing money at your expense. Don't let them take advantage of you.
Pros: Absolutely positively NONE
Cons: Embarrassment to ""Italian"" cuisine
