Weird name, but high-energy spot located in a loft-style space featuring authentic Italian cuisine. Appetizers (antipastos) range from calamari to carpaccio, while the entrées offer three types of pastas that can be topped with just about anything you like. Ordering is fun because entrees are served family style at your table. The tables are somewhat crammed into the small room, but it suits this setting.
