Vibe: Old NYC-type family restaurant below street level in an out-of-the-way townhouse that has definitely seen better days. (The walk to the bathrooms was an experience.) Food: Good, but definitely not great. Certainly not NYC old-Italian caliber. Service: Perhaps too good. There are very few...tables, staff visibly hovers off to the side, rushing in to remove plates, encourage orders & payment. We were definitely feeling rushed to order, eat, & move on (despite frequent verbal assurances of "take your time"). Price: Typical for DC. Good (above-average for DC) pours on the wine. Final thought: The owners of this restaurant could probably make quite a successful go of it if they were in a better (& larger) space & location. I hope they get a chance to do so.More
