I'll be honest - the food wasn't awesome, but it wasn't awful either (as some other reviewers have mentioned). Admittedly, I come to the table with pretty high expectations when I am paying someone to prepare food for me because I think I do a pretty good job at it myself.\r
\r
The atmosphere really makes this place what it is (and I've been to other places with great food but lousy service or an awful atmosphere). The room is dimly lit, but not so much so that you can't see the other people at your table. While chatty, the room isn't so loud that you can't hear your dinner partners. \r

When we walked in, one of the servers asked if we had a reservation (which seemed a little absurd as the restaurant was nearly empty). A person (who we later found out was the owner) stood up, took the reservation booklet away and whispered something to the server; he probably realized the absurdity as well. We were told we could sit wherever we wanted.\r
\r
I love that this is a BYO - no corkage fee (!). My wife and I started out with baked ricotta and dried Italian sausage with olives. This was wonderful paired with the soft bread brought out to our table. The ricotta was creamy and the sausage was spicy - remember, this is a cold dish.\r
\r
Next (really, after what seemed like a bit of a wait) came our pasta - wife had the cheese tortellini and I had the veal tortellini. It was ok. Not really bad, but it wasn't incredible either. My wife told me she thought it was a little ""plain.""\r
\r
We ended by sharing a Lemon tart. Again, this was okay, but nothing to write home about - heavy on the tart, but a little more liquidy than I might prefer.\r
\r
Overall, it was a good time. The owner stopped by several times to ask us how we were - he seems to really care about the place. We'll probably go back.
Pros: ambience, service, location, price, owner is very friendly
Cons: food isn't that great (but more than decent)
