OK its a step back in time - but the foods actually good (Italian home cooked) , its quiet, friendly and you'll feel like a local (....in 1975). One of the few owner operated pubs around untouched by gentrification! There's a pool table in the back and jukebox that does a nice line in hairspray rock anthems...Rock out! A retro gem.
