| - July 19, 2014: This is my second time here (the first time was for a funeral reception where they served bread, antipasti and cold cuts) at a wedding reception. The staff were pleasant, efficient, and attentive. The antipasti table was artfully arranged and laden with grissini, bruschetta and crostini, pickled eggplant, prosciutto wrapped melon, assorted cheese and fruit, cold cuts, olives, insalata caprese, sausage and meatballs, spanakopita, and egg rolls.
Our starters, cannellonini and gnocchi in a tomato sauce, were pillowy light and not too chewy.
The main course was unfortunately a hit and miss. The steak was seared beautifully but needed more seasoning. Although the chicken breast was very juicy, it tasted quite bland. A little bit more jus or gravy would have done it justice. Alas, the broccoli was overcooked and the carrots were still raw.
The desserts however, were amazing--Mario's Gelati was served to the delight of the young and old guests. There was such a unique variety of flavours (chocolate hazelnut, cappuccino, and raspberry white chocolate swirl) accompanied with fresh fruit.
