An article by Newsday.com:

Prices at this straightforward Italian restaurant are beyond reasonable - the most expensive entree is $18 - and service, from a mostly Albanian team of waiters, is warm and efficient.

One chill evening, I was warmed by a bowl of Italian wedding soup, the robust chicken stock floating savory miniature meatballs in a tangle of escarole. A Caesar salad featured bright, crisp romaine and a dressing just rich and cheesy enough. In the case of the calamari salad - tender squid over iceberg lettuce - the dressing (which the menu gave as white truffle oil and lemon) was missing something crucial. I suspect that someone substituted plain olive oil and forgot the salt and pepper. What surprised me, though, was how compelling the grilled vegetables were - thinly sliced but not wilted, with a light char on the surface, smoky and subtly garlicky. A melting eggplant rollatine proved pleasing, too.

All too often, veal at bargain prices turns out to be something chewy and flavorless - no bargain at all. Here, however, the $12 veal scallopini in a deeply flavorsome and not overly sweet Marsala sauce could be cut with a fork. A friend's veal alla pizzaola, sauteed with peppers, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and no shortage of garlic, was lively and every bit as appealing.

Chicken scarpariello - boneless pieces sauteed in olive oil with garlic, lemon, roasted peppers and lots of fresh herbs - was a dish that was rustic yet refined. I was impressed, too, with the shrimp francese, jumbo shellfish in a buttery lemon and white wine sauce.

Twice, my pasta was served al dente, an ideal rarely met at most restaurants in this price range. Rigatoni matriciana - stubby tubes in a bacon, tomato, basil and onion sauce - was a hearty smoky indulgence. And I found myself eating way too much of the penne Bolognese, the meat sauce striking a balance between mellow and spirited.

Two house-made desserts, a chocolate-crusted Italian cheesecake and an airy tiramisu, were worthy finales. The cappuccino was strong, the way it should be.

This spot is in a center that's both difficult to find and nearly impossible to make a left turn into or out of. But location isn't the draw here.
