| - I think this is my first 5 star review! I couldn't find one critique of our meal at all!
First off I have been wanting to come here for ages! Thank goodness their groupon was still available for purchase! $89.99 for 4 people, was a small family get together.
The atmosphere of this restaurant in the main room was homey & quaint! However in the second room, it was cozy and romantic! It's true what the other reviewers said very romantic!
The food was superb! First off the bread, I have a love for warm bread at restaurants! It's such a simple but rare offerings? This place not only toast their sliced baguettes but it's also a bit garlic seemed like a light garlic spread was already spread on it! Warm and toasty!
Appetizers:
My eggplant parmigiana, eggplant was nicely breaded, the tomato sauce was sooo yummy!
We also had the mussels, grilled calamari (tender and not over done!) and the beef carpaccio! All nicely portioned!
Main:
My veal chop (off of the daily special) was fantastic. Perfect medium, the sauce was to die for! A rich reduction with some sort of cream drizzle
We also had a T-bone steak, the fish which also came with like a crab meat rice, and a seafood risotto all tasting delicious
Dessert:
I had the pumpkin cheesecake (also off of the daily special menu), I usually don't like pumpkin so was very reluctant to try this but gave it a go. Am glad I did coz it was like a taste of heaven! The pumpkin wasn't too overwhelming, the cream cheese and pumpkin conmbination was a perfect balance along with a bit of the whole pumpkin spice! Kind of like starbucks PSL in a dessert! The cookie crust bottom was crunchy indicating it must have been recently made!
we also got the tiramisu, tartufo, gianormous slice of truffle cake.
I still liked my cheesecake the best!
They had a whole lot of other selections like cannoli, creme brûlée, a pistachio mousse crunch which they ran out on. Overall a very extensive dessert menu!
I was reluctant to write this review as I wanna keep this place a secret! But on a wed night it had only three other tables of twos! This place is such a hidden gem that I really want it to stick around!
Can't wait to go back and try their pizza!
Overall a scrumptious Italian feast!
