Frommer's Review

Pastas (15 of them) dominate the offerings, with international standards like Thai calamari salad, crab Rangoon spring rolls, quesadillas, and bruschette filling out the menu -- tasty and quick for all their familiarity. With bare tables and hard surfaces everywhere, it's loud, and take the reading glasses, because the menu is written in a tiny hand and there are only guttering candles and a few dim pinlights for illumination. The waitstaff is appealing enough that it's easy to forgive their lack of efficiency in keeping glasses full at busy times.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
