From Citysearch

In Short
Renoir replicas hang on the sponge-painted, ochre walls, candles flicker on every table, and the kitchen dishes out a solid rendition of classic Italian comfort food. Meals begin with complimentary rosemary focaccia, slathered in olive oil and garlic. Pastas are served with a familiar variety of marinara and meat sauces. Service is a group effort: Glasses rarely reach the half-empty mark before they're refilled.
