text: I've eaten here twice, and both times I left here with my taste buds completely satisfied!\n\nThe atmosphere of the restaurant is nice.  It's not overly formal, but not too casual either.  It's also not too noisy so you and your company can definitely have conversations without needing to scream into each other's ears.\n\nThe wine selection is pretty wide.  They are true to their culture and focus mostly on Italian wines, all of which have been delicious, for the ones that I have tried at least. Should definitely check out the sparkling wines or dessert wines if your pocketbook can afford it.  :-)\n\nThe food is nothing short of AMAZING!  Even something as simple as cold cuts and cheese was enough to impress me.  The ingredients are fresh and unique, nothing you'd normally find in a typical grocery market.  I think they marinated the olives and many other foods themselves, so the flavors you're getting from this place is definitely not something you can find just anywhere else!\n\nI tried 2 or 3 different types of pasta from this location and loved each one of them.  The chefs here pair special sauces for different types of pasta, each sauce focusing on the reduction of various alcohols like brandy or vodka.  Anyone can make pasta sauce, but to make it where you can actually taste/feel out all the flavors of the ingredients and appreciate the way it complements the pasta, that is rare.  This place definitely inspired me to experiment and be more creative with my pasta sauces in the future!\n\nI had this a few years ago, so I can't remember how to describe it, but I remember that the calamari was to die for!\n\nThe service was great!  Food came out really fast, and the servers were good about refills and clearing empty plates to make room for the next course.\n\nPricing is a little expensive, but it's also not outrageous.  For the quality and quantity of the food you're getting, I'd say it's fair.  Probably not somewhere you'd want to eat at everyday, but it's definitely affordable for those special dates.
