"Comfy booths and ivy-stenciled pillars set the tone for the tasty comfort food served here. Pasta is the star (although some real stars have also been sighted)...."

"Though the pasta itself is supple -- maybe a little thick and clumsily formed -- it's cooked nicely al dente. Flat triangular pumpkin ravioli, for example, are filled with a straight pumpkin purée...."

"The worst part of this "dining" experience was that the 3 year old daughter of our waiter just happened to be sitting at the adjoining table(at 9 PM! ) and was allowed to prance around the restaurant unrestrained all night...."

"Osso buco, one of northern Italy's great classic dishes, arrives in a beautiful, subtly balanced sauce, but the meat itself hasn't been braised to tenderness. It's as if the kitchen is following a score but not quite getting it...."

"The homepage on Ca'Brea's Web site modestly begs the question, "Why are Americans so obsessed with Italian food? " An interesting query, but somewhat misleading -- because this restaurant's popularity has as much to do with atmosphere as food...."
