The name says it all: this is red-sauce nostalgia with decent sourcing behind it, an Italian-American restaurant where the menu reads like a Sunday supper at someone's grandmother's house, if grandma had a full bar and a buzzy crowd to match. Clams casino, chicken Vesuvio, and macaroni in garlic cream all show up. The pizza selection wanders usefully off-script too. Relaxed, loud, and unapologetically carb-forward.
