        Overall
        One of my favorite restaurants in the city

        This small place hidden in the middle of the Castro is a gem. VERY fresh italian ingredients and a menu that changes often but is always tasty plus cute italian waiters = a great meal. I have had two birthday celebrations in a row at this restaurant.
