    Always great food and very friendly service. Tableside preparation of several dishes adds a nice touch. Sat in the bar area tables which has a more casual vibe (same menu) and TVs with sports on (no volume). Fine if that's what you want but maybe not intimate dinner vibe. Overall great food and friendly staff and cheerful patrons.

    Go for the cacio et pepe pasta, prepared table side. Our group of 3 had pasta entrees after Caesar salad and tuna tartare. The carbonara was more pancetta than Rome's; get extra garlic for the linguini vongole. Stay for the zabaglione ---who else makes it. It's made tableside and just boozy enough. Nice and efficient staff; cozy and festive ambiance.
