 It's a nice place- dockers and a nice shirt would be appropriate.
 A fair number of suit wearers hang there too, so you could go
 dressier and still blend fine.

 1st floor is a bar, limited booth seating, and a stage.  The one time
 I was there when there was a band it was a classy and energetic blues
 band.

 2nd floor is candle lit dining.

 They make their own pasta, tre yummy, portions large, price cheap.

 We had lunch there last year. The chicken sandwich was very tasty and
 the bread appeared to be homemade. It was, however, a little too greasy
 for my taste. The potato chips they served were also homemade. The
 atmosphere was nice. I would choose not to go back there because of the
 grease.

 We have a very nice experience there about a year ago.
 Nice Italian fare - Medium-priced, I'd say.  Decent selection.

 I don't recall all of the meal.  I do remember sharing calimari
 as an appetizer.  It's sort of our "barometer dish" for Italian restaurants.
 If the calamari turns out tough and overcooked, we tend to stick to
 simpler items on the menu.  This was tender and lightly breaded.
 We ate well that night.

 I'm sure you'll enjoy it.  Have fun and report back your findings.
 I'd really like to know what you think.

 My Suggestions are:  The Chicken Romano and the Calamari for the
 appetizer.  The Chicken Romano is a big portion (5 pieces) of chix
 breast that is dipped in an egg batter and panfried.  With the
 Calamari you get a large portion of lightly breaded, somewhat zesty
 perfectly cooked rings.  I like this place but at times it can get
 crowded.

 I have eaten there twice, once for lunch and once for supper.  The food
 is good but I really like the atmosphere.  It is on the entertainment
 card.  The upstairs is open also.  I dined up there which is more quiet
 than downstairs, because of the bar.  I thought the food was good and
 the service also good.  Don't hestitae to go there; you won't be
 disappointed.
