After living in the neighborhood for 6 years I could kick myself for not having found this gem sooner. I was drawn in by their $5 "best of PhillY" Cosmo and free food happy hour and have been going at least once a week for two months now. Everything from the cheerful maitre d', the sharp witted and handsome bartender to the ingratiating service staff is amazing. The food is authenticly prepared by a first generation Italian Chef, and all of their pasta's are handmade. Even more exciting is that all this comes at a price fast food joints would envy. Looking for fun, inexpensive, authentic Italian? Look no further
