WE ARRIVED AT 6:OOPM SAT NITE. AND WERE PROMPTLY SEATED IN THE COMFORTABLE ,COZY BACK ROOM. WE WERE IMPRESSED WITH THE ITALIAN WINE LIST &HAD A WONDERFUL SANGIOVESE RED FOR $35. THE 1/2 ORDER PRIMI PASTA DISHES "BLEW" US AWAY..TRY THE PAPPARDELLE WITH DUCK SAUCE OR THE LINGUINI BOLOGNESE, THE GRILLED CALAMARI COATED WITH CRISPY BREAD CRUMBS WAS WAS ALSO A WINNER. THE BRONZINI REMINDED ME THAT FISH DID NOT HAVE TO BE BORING. THE DEBONED CORNISH HEN WAS MOIST AND FLAVORFUL . FINALLY , THE RICOTTA CHEESE CAKE WITH AN INTENSELY FLAVORED DECAF ESPRESSO WAS A PERFECT FINALE. THE SERVICE WAS CIVILIZED & INFORMATIVE;WE NEVER FELT RUSHED , EVEN THOUGH PATRONS WERE WAITING TO BE SEATED.BY THE TIME WE FINISHED..... WHAT A GREAT FIND WHICH IS SOMEWHAT UNDERATED BY ZAGAT AT 22. THE TAB WAS $200 FOR 4 PEOPLE. JBARIE
