I'm Italian, I lived 33 years in Italy. This is (at last!) an authentic Italian restaurant. Food is excellent. They also import fresh things from Italy. I've ever had good service, the guys complaining were probably unlucky. The owners are really passionate Italians, she is the cook. Talk with the owner, ask him how come many of the VIPs that go there are not exposed in pictures like in other restaurant. A classy place. I've even been there for Valentine, the 80$ dinner was excellent. It is not cheap (nor too expensive) but it worths every cent.
Pros: Food, ambience, style.
Cons: I couldn't find one.
