The decor is quite interesting. Big bar, glass cabinet displaying various sauces (he calls them gravy) and cookbooks, black and white tiled floor, music from the 70's and 80's and mob movies playing on the tv screens. Volume turned way up for the good parts.
Went home with a cookbook (a gift from a good friend we were dining with). Not just your average cookbook and more than just recipes. Interesting stories from the owner Steve Martorano and his life growing up in South Philly to his success in the restaurant business. Great pictures too. I've already made a few things. Here is a picture of the pizza I made yesterday. Will be going back there when we go to Vegas for New Years.
