It is decidedly overrated.  We had some good calamari, but some very average pasta dishes there.  The decor is loud, the room filled with squalling children.  My waiter corrected my Italian pronunciation with a smirk. Some of the kitchen help were eating at a table in the middle of the place, in their filthy "whites".  People will point out the chef is from Mezzaluna, but he has obviously retired to yuppy familyland out north and it shows.
