Excellent food, a unique experience. Get there early.
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I can sympathize with the reviewers that had a bad experience with the service, but that has not been the case in any of my visits. The place is what it is. It's not TGI McTuesdaygans. It's not Chez FooFoo. It is a dive. It is loud. If you don't get seated in the first group, just forget it. That said, the food is excellent. I have had some of the best restaurant meals I've ever eaten there. Seafood and pasta are cooked properly, and the deserts are excellent. The best Tiramisu I've ever eaten! Try Edo's Squid as well for another unique dining experience.

Pros: Food, food, food.

Cons: It's too small.

Editor's Review

Don't discount authentic Italian in a distressed dive--one dinner is all it takes to delight.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

The Service

Legendary for being lax and inattentive. Some Southerners loudly declare "I'll nevah come back." Others consider it a trade-off. Be forewarned!
