This is a nice, casual neighborhood hangout where you can easily satiate yourself on the food and surroundings. Laid-back and friendly, it's ideal for a family meal out or for when you have a hankering to feel you've been invited to dinner with an Italian family. Huge portions of traditional Italian dishes with lots of garlic are the standard fare. Fresh sourdough bread is plentiful, as are the carafes of wine. Peak dinner hours draw a crowd, so make reservations or eat early.
