Additional Information
An absolute gem. Francesco’s hole in the wall is the real deal for Italian dining. The food is amazing, the staff treats you... like family, and table next to you was probably there at the same time last week…because it is THAT good. Read more
So I think I've gone out to eat quite a bit to be able to say that when I send a plate back it must be really bad. I ordered the... shrimp scampi. When it came out the shrimp's looked beautiful but the pasta was in watery liquid. It had no flavor noseasonings. When the man came around to ask us how our dinner was, I told him the truth it had no flavor and it was in thiswatery sauce sauce. He said to me it's the juices from the shrimp (you can that the shrimps looked cooked separate from thepasta) and ask if I want it drained out or if I wanted to just eat the shrimps? I was disappointed with the answer, but he did end up taking it back. I've gone to this place before but, it seems like they're cutting corners or the chef is new, somethinghas changed. Also the staff lacks customer service qualities that make people feel like coming back. The rest of my party feltthe same way and will not be coming back. Read more
Small italian restaurant with inside and outside seating. Menu is written on a dry erase board, it's fine unless you are seated... right under the board. Then you have to get up and take few steps back to get a good look at it. Most people go up to the boardand take a picture of it. It opens at 5pm and thats when everyone arrives. Service was quick. Calamari appetizer was very good.We tried the Bucatini with seafood + the Branzino. Both were very good. Read more
Had a nice experience here on father’s day. I ordered a salad, which had a lot of weird veggies in it, but I dismissed the... taste assuming it was healthy. Next, I had ravioli, which was good. There were only five pieces and most definitely not worththe expensive price. Then, I had a lemon sundae for dessert, which honestly, I expected more from. It tasted like the kind oflemon ice cream I buy at the grocery store. The best thing I had there was the free bread there that comes with the meal. Inall, my family spent a couple hundred dollars here, money which I could have used to buy 2 new pairs of shoes. I felt the pricewasn’t worth the meal and I’ve had better meals at places like Italian Kitchen. The server was nice but we did find an antin our parmesan. Read more

This cozy restaurant is packed all the time with good reason. Outstanding Italian, super fresh, super homemade, generous... portions. The service is incredible, refilling (warm) bread, wine/drinks, water glasses, clearing space; so friendly andattentive. Salad plates are chilled, dinner plates are warm--that kind of attention to detail. We keep going back because everytime we're there we have the hardest time choosing from the menu, so we return to try other dishes. Prices are reallyreasonable. It's fine-dining level food and service, home-style comfort/hospitality (casual dress). No reservations, so go superearly or well after prime time or be prepared to wait. It is tiny, no bar, just know that going in. HIGHLY recommend. Read more
