It truly is a Lunch or Mid-Afternoon destination as their operation hours are M-Sat 10a to 7p on the corner of Main and Pacific in the Wilson Building. Since this is a downtown lunch spot the style is cafeteria style line (grab your utensils and tray and scoot towards the cashier and picking your entree). Seating area is not bad but considering this is a downtown lunch spot it does congest at the lunch hour. There is a nice view of Main and Pacific streets from the dining area. My recommendation is Pollo di Casa (Sauteed chicken breast w/ artichoke, mushroom, garlic in a white wine cream sauce). However their menu covers Pizza and by the slice, Pasta, Baked Pasta, Calazones, and Sub Sandwiches. Menu prices range from $4-$7 for entrees and $10-$22 for whole Pizza Pies. I hear the cooks speaking Italian and think they might hail from the NYC area as there are posters from NYC and the World Trade Site appearing on the wall in the dining area. I would recommend anyone to give them a shot. Not a bad spot for a lunchtime meal in the Downtown Dallas area and in my opinion better than Campisi's which too is in the Downtown area!
