This place came higly recommended, and it lived up to the hype in a few areas.  I guess you go here for the atmosphere and not as much for great Italian food.  The prices make up for the lack of great taste.  If you don't pad the bill with a big bar tab, it is really affordable family dining.  Dinner special includes salad, bread, entree and drink.  The entire family made it out the door for under $50, including tip.
