On Weekdays, this “ Little Italy” look-alike in Ballston is a “steal” for “solid” Italian-American food in a “homey” “family” atmosphere; if you think it “strange” that the staff is latino, its “secret” is that it’s Bolivian-owned, and on weekends there are lines out the door” as expats “wait for salteñas” (hard –to-find South American pastries filled with savory chicken or meat) or to dine on “very good” versions of their native dishes to live music.
