There are so many things to love about this place (ambiance, service, price, creativity but I think why I love it so much is that they servejust the right portions so that you leave satisfied after an amazingly delicious meal and not just full. Their portions are justthe right size and their menu seems to change just enough to keep the consistent delicious plates while still introducing newitems. Also, sorry for the mediocre pictures, my wife took them :

We ordered the tuna crudo, zucchini flower stuffed with crab (special), agnolotti, pork chop and chocolate torte! The agnolotti was good, not great; but everything else was AMAZING! The pork chop was one of the best I’ve ever had! The servicewas excellent and ambiance was very nice. Love that it’s BYOB. We brought wine but people at a table near us didn’t and theywere able to have a local liquor store deliver some (it’s a partnership between the restaurant and liquor store) genius!Will definitely be back!

It is a BYOB place. The firstthing you notice about the atmosphere is that it is noisy. Note that there is ample free parking at the train station about ablock away.

We ordered the squid ink pasta and lamb shank. Squid ink pasta taste so blend that I still can’t taste anything afterI washed my mouth down. And I have had squid ink paste at several other places too. The lamb shank is just too salty, edible,but not good.
