I won't tell you that this is the best Italian restaurant that I've eaten in, but they surpassed my expectations. The food was very good and the portions were very large. Some dishes were plated very attractively (others, well, they were a little repetitious). Their red sauce was tasty. Their gnocchi were great; their shrimp appetizer was also very good.

They were playing traditional Brazilian music with an accordion, a big drum and an oversized triangle! What a great place for a family or friend dinner!
