Description
Established in 1993 from a family vision rooted in Abruzzo, this old-style Italian dining room is a fixture for theatergoers. Guests particularly favor the window seating area for its views of the street bustle. While the kitchen can lean toward uneven execution—with occasional misses on bread freshness or seasoning—diners highlight the outstanding lamb dishes and rich, expertly prepared cappuccinos delivered by a prompt, accommodating staff.
