So I've been here a few times, all with mixed results.  Place always seems to be fairly busy, and I must say the food has been fantastic on all occasions. We arrived on a Wednesday night around 8ish and only had to wait a few minutes for the hostess to clear a table.  As other reviewers have mentioned seating ranges from great to fair, the main dining area is a bit loud and somewhat cramped with only a few feet between tables. Not an overall detraction though, especially if you like to listen to your fellow diners' conversations. \n\nWe had some drinks and ordered the antipasti plate (which I'm pretty sure we've had before, more on that in a moment) which consists of some crusty bread, tasty salami, some prosciutto-wrapped cheesy bits, some cheese, mustard and pesto.  Not bad for ~14 bucks, very comparable to Postino's or any other tapas/wine bar fare.  Unfortunately, this is where our visit took a turn for the worse...\n\nI love me some pesto, so much so I had also ordered a calzone with it, even before the antipasti plate arrived.  Glad it did shortly thereafter, as it turns out they use walnuts in their pesto instead of traditional pine nuts.  Now, I'm a foody, and I'm all about innovation with traditional recipes. That being said, when you put a potential allergen in a common food like this, YOU NEED TO MENTION IT!  As you may have guessed, I'm highly allergic to walnuts (but not any 'good' nuts at least, including pine nuts), and nowhere on the menu was this mentioned at all.  Probably because this was done less as a food innovation and more as a cost-saving feature, as pine nuts are 3-5 times as pricey as walnuts... And I'm 99% positive I had pesto here on a previous occasion with no issue, so I think this may be a recent change.  Luckily I caught the tell-tale signs early so didn't convulse in a heap on their wood-paneled floor, but needless to say this certainly ruined our night.  Our server was very kind, however the manager was a bit of an ass, and actually said 'All pestos have some kind of nuts in them'.  Yeah, pine nuts.  \n\nHe did end up comping the antipasti (albeit grudgingly), frankly I'd be happier to have paid for it with the promise they would just point that out somewhere on the menu.  I know its ultimately my responsibility to be aware of what I'm eating considering my condition, that being said its the establishment's responsibility to provide information so I can make an informed decision.  \n\nIn closing, normally I'd rate this a 4 star place, but due to the pomp of the manager and the fact they nearly killed me due to the lack of a simple sentence on the menu I have to subtract a couple.  Unfortunately I will probably not return, but I do recommend any readers to go and enjoy the above-average grub.  Just be sure to ask if you have any food allergies!
