Pro Bono is assuredly over-priced, but then again the portions tend to be pretty large. Not Italian style at all. Food is very good, as is the service.

All in all it's a weird place, I think: The menu and prices are more what you'd look for for a dinner than a lunch, yet it's in the middle of this forest of lunch places. And it doesn't have the ambiance for a business- or special-occasion lunch -- uncomfortable chairs, small tables jammed into a minimal space. I prefer to bring business people to Sundance or to whatever-the-Captain's-table-is-called-today, so we can talk.
