 I tried it out last Wednesday and have been meaning to post. It's a
 smallish place, I'd guess about a dozen tables. The decor is OK,
 but not at the level of, say, Caffe Giovanni. Call it cozy. It's been
 open for about two months.

 The food was excellent. I had a dish of veal in a wine sauce with
 mushrooms and sundried tomatoes that was better than anything I've had
 at Pasta Piatto, and as good as anything at Giovanni. I recall prices
 for main courses being in the $14-$18 range.

 The prices, while reasonable by NY/DC/SF/LA standards, make the
 restaurant more expensive than anything else in Squill, save perhaps
 Poli. I hope this doesn't hurt them.

 I highly recommend trying it.
