1) Appearance - site on a street corner on College, has a rooftop patio and street-level patio which is a bonus. Inside is quite nice, boasts a huge pizza oven, very appetizing. Nice furnishings, pretty sleek for an Italian restaurant, Very nice, very comfortable.

2) Service - sat ourselves on the roof-top patio but had to wait quite some time before any servers took notice of us, and it wasn't that crowded. Service was friendly but i wouldn't necessarily call it spectacular. They kind of just served you, very basic and functional.

3) Portions - great

4) Taste - great. Had the Arugula with Pear salad and the Gnocchi in a rose sauce. Loved it!

5) Price - very very well priced! Um, but Martini's are $11.95 compared to the spectacular $5.00 martini's across the street at Eat My Martini. So got to Eat My Martini first, then come here for dinner. Except don't order the house wine, 'cause it tastes pretty cheap.

1) Appearance - big, kind of crazy, dimmed. American style, like pop American.

2) Service - friendly, although not the most efficient.

3) Portions - large

4) Taste - I think i only like their beer & cheddar cheese soup there. It's quite phenomenal actually. I have gone on 2 separate occasions in the last couple of weeks: fish n' chips - too oily, not flavorful. Rack of Ribs...dry. Had to be sent back to be re-heated. Fries - don't even bother.

5) Price - average

1) Appearance - kinda feels like your at the movies and a pool hall and the arcade....all rolled into one. TV's everywhere, its very distracting. Good place to take a date, if your not really into your date.

2) Service - all kinds of servers and hostesses flying around, yet the service was slow.

3) Portions - large

4) Taste - ah......ok.

5) Price - fine
