This was our first Italian restaurant we went to when we moved down here and we were pleasantly surprised. It's located in the fanciful kierland commons and has a very welcoming and romantic ambience. Food-wise, they hand make their pasta daily so you know it's fresh. My favorite dish here by far is the chicken parmesan; They provide a hardy portion with excellent flavor. The gnocchi here is very rich and satisfying while the spicy shrimp pasta has a nice ginger-semi spicy flavor to it. Bread is brought to you as an appetizer with a tomato butter spread, so an ordering appetizer isn't really necessary. What is necessary though is an order of the tiramisu! It is downright delicious! Hands down the tastiest tiramisu in the valley! The first layer of this fantastic dish is a plethora of mini-malt chocolate balls that covers the coffee flavored cake layer. These malt balls are what make this dessert dish top notch in my opinion. Customer service here is mostly on point, but there have been some exceptions. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars.
