A friend came down from San Jose and wanted some Italian so I decided to make reservations at this restaurant. I just thought it was easier because we could go to the mall, do some shopping, and catch a movie after. I reached just in time and there was a line up but I made my way to the front and was greeted by a wonderful man and was seated immediately. We were sitting on the upper floor facing a church surrounded with trees, it was quite lovely. The ambience was really nice, cosy and I loved the industrial interior decor. Our server soon after came with two waters and we ordered a glass of Chanti and a glass of Nero buono. For appetizers, I grabbed the Carciofi al forno and the Calamari fritti. In about 5 to 10 minutes both apps arrived and they were delicious. The Carciogi al forno had creamy spinach and baked arthichokes, it just melted in my mouth.. Yum! The Calamari fritti was hot and crispy and the garlic cream and fennel was perfect. Our server would check up on us and refilled our glasses with wine and cleared our table. For my main I ordered the Margherita pizza and my friend got the Ravioli a Mano. The mains took awhile but the wine kept us yapping away not realizing half hour went by like it was nothing. At this point the server disappeared, but when we finally saw her she had our entrees and was coming our way. I find that my pizza was just a safe choice and I could've explored my palate but it was one of those indecisive days lol. My friend and I went half/half and shared our dinner, the ravioli was perfect and the sauce was thick and flavourful, it was so good. We skipped dessert since we decided to grab some milkshakes across the street. Overall, it was a great Italian restaurant and I will definitely try something a little more creative next time ;)
