content: This is a happy hour review\n\nIf I lived in a big city, this would be the joint I walk to for Italian take out and a drink while I wait... \n\nFamily owned and operated -  I think? or at least that's the feel... If you sit at the little bar and have a drink waiting for your takeout, the host will introduce himself and chat with you and that's kinda cool. Almost too much to choose from foodwise, but the specials are always killer. I don't remember the name of the smoked salmon salad special, but another patron recommended it once and it was delicious. \n\nHearty pours on happy hour wines and prices are not shocking overall. Not great happy hour for traditional people watching, etc, but a pretty cool patio. Get the grilled veggie app and the fresh-tasting farfalle emperial. Take a salciccia calzone home for breakfast mmm good lol.
