Family owned and delicious meals. I've never had a meal that was remotely disappointing. If you're by yourself, the bar is a great option with good drinks and old time movies playing. Plus, you'll feel completely comfortable sitting there if you're a woman on your own.
My favorite is the Eggplant Parmesan which has converted many a skeptic!

This is one of the best sushi bars in town - they don't take reservations but you'll always be happy with whatever you order, at least that's been the experience we've all had. It's on the pricy side but for a special occasion, it can't be beat.
