| - My husband (the lucky one of us) won a gift card to this restaurant, so we planned a nice meal here with another couple for double date night. Normally we wouldn't venture so far from home base, but we weren't disappointed. It was a lovely experience. (Did I just use the word "lovely"? Yes...I think I did. Huh, that was weird.)
We'd made reservations for a Saturday night and were seated right away. All the hostesses and servers were super friendly and polite. The restaurant was very busy, so the open dining area was somewhat loud, making conversation a bit challenging at times, but we'd been there before so knew what to expect. It has a very open feel. Certainly not intimate or private, if that's what you're looking for.
We ordered an appetizer of Spinach Artichoke Dip, served with Parmesan flatbread, which was very good...but the bread seemed more like large pieces of cracker. I wasn't a huge fan, felt like the dip needed some thicker, fluffier bread to really make the most of it. But it did all get eaten. The couple we were with ordered a single glass of wine, mentioning to the server that they would be sharing it, so the server brought out two glasses and poured very generously for each, which was nice. My friend ordered lobster bisque and said it was delicious, although it was only lukewarm when it arrived, so she very sweetly asked if she could have it heated up a bit. The server was gracious and accommodating, did not make us feel as though we were putting her out at all.
For main dishes, I honestly don't recall what the other couple ordered, but they did seem pleased. I ordered the Ravioli di Bello...yum!!! My husband ordered the Whole Roasted Chicken and let me tell you, that was a LOT of food. The plate they brought out for him covered about a quarter of the entire surface area of the table. For a guy, that's probably alright I guess, but if I'd ordered the whole chicken and they brought that plate out to me, I personally would've wanted to crawl beneath the table from embarrassment. Anyway, my hubs is a pretty big guy and even he couldn't finish the entire plate, so he ended up boxing some of it for later.
Both times I've eaten here, I've really enjoyed the food and service. The prices are to be expected on that side of town, so at least you get a lot of food for what you pay for. All in all, a great experience. And don't forget to check in on Yelp for a free Tuscan Taster with beverage!
