text: Yelp made me do it.  The reviews were too good to miss and a cross town trip of nearly 20 miles was insufficient deterrent to share a meal with a new friend.  The service was enthusiastic, friendly and charming.  A Prosecco split kicked things off, followed by a split Parma salad that was more than sufficient for an opening round.  My dining partner was keeping it light with pasta fagioli and I opted for linguine with clams and white wine.  A white Veneto accompanied most appropriately.\n\nAll I can say is \"amazingly satisfying\".  There's an art to keeping it simple,  unpretentious and Parma pulls it off like a clean apron.  I only wish I lived closer.\n\nThe deli section demands a return trip - Percorino, salami - the works.\n\nDiane is so pleasant, she's right out of Central Casting.  Delightful.\n\n5 stars reserved for the truly killer spots.  Parma's not far off.
