The lovely people who run Mother's Bistro have done it again! The old Elephant & Castle now houses this gem. This is REAL homestyle italian. The house wines are inexpensive ($10 a caraffe) and served in wine glasses, and really good to boot (there is an exceptional wine list for those who want more). The sausage is stellar, and the pasta cooked perfectly. The red sauce is tasty, perfectly spiced, so you can taste the fresh tomato flavor. The service is as friendly and warm as eating at Grandma's, the portions are huge. No, seriously HUGE! The deserts are mazing and there is even a large grappa selection. Nice beers on tap too. Try the veal and every pasta you can. Fun for lunch or dinner, couples or crowds!

Pros: food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, deserts, grappa
