There's nothing especially exciting about this intimate candle-lit Italian restaurant and wine bar, but somehow it continues to attract diners from first dates to neighborhood families and their (sometimes stubborn) kids.

Spacious neighborhood wine bar serves classic Italian on namesake small plates.:
