Excellent food at reasonable prices. Pasta cooked al dente, and delivered fast and hot! My carbonara was creamy, not too eggy, not too cheesy, with lots of pancetta. Wood tables are crowded together, so we ate at the bar, which also was crowded for happy hour. It also got noisy. A runner brought our food out for the bartender, and came back to check on us as well.
Tablecloths and napkins would be nice, and a more attentive door person to control the crowd at the door.
