Father-and-son owners Ivo and Peter Kastelan - at least one of whom is always about doing everything from welcoming guests to reciting the specials- ensure that your meal includes not only delicious food and drink, but impeccable hospitality as well. I can give you any number of reasons to go: the food is tasty and ranges from the traditional to the inventive; the wine list is smart and proudly showcases local producers alongside prestigious Italian names; and everything is priced more than reasonably (even the valet parking costs less than a gallon of gas!). Peter and Ivo treat every customer as if he or she were the most important person they will ever serve, and mean it. The monthly wine dinners are a great deal. Best of all, the staff is friendly and loyal and seems to have an amazingly low turnover rate; it's nice to be greeted with a wave and a smile by everyone from the busboys to the owners. And no, I don't work for Il Tiramisu in any way - just a devoted customer!
Pros: Friendly service; delicious food; great prices.
Cons: Crowded on weekends and on wine dinner nights. Book ahead.
