This is a great place if you enjoy your meals with loads of pepper. My wife and I got two different dishes and barely finished them I have never had so much pepper corn in an Italian dish in my life. Wait staff was nice, but they never brought out our appetizer. Nice place to eat, but the food is not recommended. (November, 2007)
