I'd love to give this place 4.5 stars if I could.  I come here regularly when I visit State Street and I just love that you can sit outside in the Summertime.  Nothing is better than people watching on State Street, or visiting State Street to shop and grabbing a yummy meal with friends at this friendly little family restaurant.  It's fun to people watch while enjoying your meal outside; State Street has a culture that's unique to Madison.  \n\nThe food here is really great.  I docked this place half a star because sometimes the food is better than others, different chefs possibly?  They have very generous portions and by far the best Italian restuarant in the State Street area.  The wait staff never disappoints me, they are always prompt and friendly.   A great place that's casual to somewhat dressy at night.  The price here is not that bad either.  If you're in the area and love Italian then this is the place for you!
