The Scene
Owner/chef Michael Sciulli moves between the kitchen and dining rooms, checking on the house and making sure everyone is happy. When the food is on the table, everyone is very happy.

The Food
A great starter is the smooth and flavorful polenta. There is also an excellent wedding soup, and for a main course, try the chicken rabiato with homemade linguini, mushrooms, onions and hot peppers, or a large veal chop, served with peppers, onions and mushrooms.

If You Order One Thing
By all means, try the beans and greens, sauteed escarole and white beans in lots of garlic and a little olive oil. Delicious, but a little goes a long way, so share it.
