the short review: go here as many times as you can and eat and drink as many different things as you can. the longer review: one of the best pizzas (a plate-sized entree one) i've had in my life and a glass of refreshing, decent white wine was $8 (plus tax and tip).

this deal is available sunday-thursday 5 pm until 7 pm, last time i checked. possibly one of the best deals in town and so very very worth it. the rest of the food i sampled (including fish stew, risotto, and corn flan) is more or less equally kick-ass, including dessert (rhubarb in phyllo with lovely, lovely ice cream, flan with saffron in it, and flourless chocolate cake).

the waitstaff are great and they have many tasty and affordable wines the glass. this place should rightfully be packed every night if all things were just in the world.

(post-review note, they have a full liquor license now, so it's even more worth going, if that's possible)
