Caffe Italia Trattoria, Marblehead

It has been many restaurants over the years including Molly Waldo, Frank's, and Rio Grande. We hadn't eaten here in a year. The Italian food then was quite good and reasonably priced. Street parking can be tough sometimes, but it's not more than a 2-minute walk. Half the place is a bar with dining tables around it, with the other half all tables. We went in on a weekend night around 8:30. There was a 2-piece band playing in the bar area. The band was so incredibly loud in the dining section that we had trouble communicating, so we left without eating and went to Pellino's around the corner.
