I went there quite often, but our last visit was terrible (rude service, ok food) so we haven't gone back. It used to be owned by one of the brothers/relatives that owned Buon Giornos but I believe it changed ownership, hence my problem.

Course it could have been just a bad fluke - dunno. For atmosphere, Giornos is better, but it's smaller.

Khyron, that's too bad about your experience. This is one of my favourite "mid priced" type restaurants. Every time has been great good and service (well not necessarily exceptional or memorable but it wasn't terrible). I like it there, I've never had a problem with the food. Funny thing is I always enter my business card in their monthly draw and conviniently I always win, 3 in a row so far. It's only for a $15 GC but it keeps me coming back. I think its still owed my the Cicallione family (sp?). They also own(ed) El Molino which supplies Safeway with taco chips, salsa etc.
