Description

More than a century in, the energy here remains unapologetically high. The room is configured for a loud, group-friendly dining experience that shifts gears around 7:00 PM. That is when the nightly live music starts, sparking sing-alongs and prompting patrons to dance on the tables and chairs. The kitchen matches the volume with heavy, crowd-pleasing portions of Italian classics, including rigatoni, french-fry-style fried zucchini, and an acclaimed garlic bread.
