The Scene

Abbondanza is the name of the game here, where a one-price-buys-it-all menu gets you in and out quickly, inexpensively and wishing you hadn't had that second bite of dessert. Almost before you take your seat, you're besieged by an assortment of antipasti that changes according to the season and the whim of the chef.

The Food

Every dinner includes the all-you-can-eat antipasto and the pasta, a selection of which whizzes around the dining room in well-worn saute pans. Servers pile your plate with papardelle in veal ragu, linguine with black olive paste, penne, rigatoni, gnocchi, ravioli--every night the choice is different. The timid stop there, but if you're still hungry, a small supplemental charge earns you a generous entree.

Just Desserts

If you've still got room, desserts are worth the discomfort. Bread pudding is a winner, chocolate zabaglione cake is as good as it sounds.

The Wine List

Wines are all a bargain at $18 a bottle.
