We've recently found Amici Miei. Based on the last three week-night visits over the past month or so, we will be returning. We have tried some of the appetizers, pasta, pizza and entrees.

This is a truly authentic Italian restaurant. Since moving to this area from NYC, this is the only place that satisfies our craving for pasta done right. The service is a little less-than-warm, but the food more than makes up for it. more
