Grew up in NYC, first gen Italian family, go to a Italy quite a bit, particularly southern and Sicily, for several month a year…so I think I kinda of an a decent judge of this type of food..the ambiance is def red sauce Brooklyn vibe but that’s where it ends.. they brought us bread..after we had to ask.. and it was not just cold..it felt like it was in early stage defrost..one pasta dish was fine, the other terrible..the food reminded me of one of those awful tourist places in what’s left of little Italy.but at least there the service was decent. For sure better places in RVA for Italian
