The name of that restaurant is "Il PortO" (minor typo correction).  The guy
playing the piano is Johnny "Crazy Otto" Maddox, who (mirabile dictu) once had
a Number One record!  (This was before rock and roll was invented, so don't go
looking for it behind your Beatles albums.)  He is absolutely INCREDIBLE, and
while the food at Il Porto is pretty good, the piano might be the best you'll
ever hear.

Prices aren't unreasonable, either -- I don't recall details, but I've never
been offended by the tab there.  We usually call ahead to find out when the
first piano set starts (he plays upstairs -- downstairs you only get echoes)
and reserve a table aout half an hour before that time.
 
Caution: the place is a bit smoky.  I've learned to tolerate it -- it adds to
the atmosphere, and an evening or two a year won't khurt my longs.  Maybe.
