Small dining space with family-style Italian seating creates a lively, old school atmosphere filled with celebrity photographs and a sense of history. The environment is loud and energetic, especially in the front room, encouraging conversation and laughter. A hidden back room adds a private, exclusive feel reminiscent of classic Italian dining spots.
