Prices are reasonable.  I wouldn't quote a "dish" price because their
"dishes" will feed 3-6 people easily.   Split between a party, though,
you could probably spend < $20 each if you don't buy alcohol or dessert.

It's exceedingly busy on the weekends; weeknights might be better.  They
don't accept reservations, so depending on the size of the party and the
business level you could wait up to two hours for a table.

And their food isn't _that_ good IMHO.  You're almost certainly better
off at one of the Italian restaurants up in North Beach.  It's not that
their food is bad, but it's nothing to write home about.
