Frommer's Review

Here's yet another chain, but one that is well run with above-average food. The menu features such specialties as tagliarini picchi pacchiu (a fine pasta with crushed tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and basil served with either chicken or shrimp) and pollo Rosa Maria (fire-roasted chicken stuffed with Fontina cheese and prosciutto, and topped with mushrooms and a basil lemon butter sauce). Also available are wood-fired pizzas, an array of soups and salads, pastas, and other favorite Italian classics. The atmosphere is casual but lively; the interior features a show kitchen and lots of exposed brick. Don't forget to save room for dessert -- they're large enough to share (though you may not want to!).
