I’m a big Italian drinker and to be seated in the wine room area made my whole night. Gino, the owner took me in the wine room for a tour and that was it. I saw all the great bottles of Italian wine they carry, like Gaja, Giacosa, Sassicaia, Casanova dei Neri and many others like Flaccianello and Dal Forno Amarone.

I think Comet Pizza in D.C. does one, too. Anyway, Facci is the only place I've seen do that with the shells on. Not very practical, but cool presentation. I just tried Facci and was very impressed.

It was hostesses who I swear were trained to be uninviting back when the place was always full. But they were completely friendly the last time that we visited. It made the entire night feel different.HowChowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214893123333124514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-19027707034237103932011-12-06T16:46:08.100-05:002011-12-06T16:46:08.100-05:00We went there one time and it was just okay.

I've been a few times trying to figure why you & others "love" this place so much. Never quite felt it. Just okay to me. And some of the most overpriced specials around. <br /><br />We tried it since the expansion, didn't have to wait long, pleasant service & the food was "nice".
