An impulse stop that we should have resisted.\n\nTime: Dinner.\n\nAmbiance: Stifling.  Like Generalissimo Franco running a pizza parlor on a fake Italian piazza.\n\nCrowd: White tourists.\n\nMenu: Americanized Italian greatly reduced by being out of many ingredients.\n\nService: Slow and lacking in morale.\n\nFood Ordered: Linguine with mussels, and a margherita pizza\n\nFood Quality: Small portion of a decent linguine with sparse, overcooked, tiny mussels.  The margherita pizza was unremarkable.\n\nValue: Overpriced.\n\nNote: There are a bizarre number of rules here.  It has the pretensions of a great restaurant, but falls far short.
