I've heard nothing but good things about this place. It's on my list. The no reservation policy is sort of irritating, but c'est la guerre.

Yes, all pastas are made in-house. They have a very nice bar, and they are adept at moving tables, so I don't believe the no reservation policy will be a big issue, except maybe for prime time Sat. night.
The bruschetta does sound like an odd mix, but we ordered it based on the waitresses' recommendation (service was very good!), and she hit it on the mark. Odd, but damn good. Wine list was very affordable - most bottles in the upper 20s-mid 30s range., with the obvious emphasis on Italian wineries. Had an Italian chardonnay, Tiefenbrunner, was very nice - complemented food extremely well. $33 for the bottle.

I went two weeks ago on a Saturday, about 8:00 and was seated in about 20 minutes. Was hardly an issue at all. Just enough time to finish a drink at the bar.

Place is fantastic. Got the salumi plate, red snapper crudo, a salad with anchovies and pig ears, a bruchetta thingy, and two pasta dishes.
