| - A great stop for lunch, a restaurant I had never really considered for anything other than supper before; and since my friend and I have been going for lunch I figured we might as well give it a try!
While I know from experience a reservation is often necessary to get a table with no wait at supper time, I was shocked to find only a handful of tables at lunch. I ordered their Pollo Parmigiana, as I have never had it before and loved every bite of it. It was as rich as it should be, with a fine layer of breading; something often overdone at most restaurants! The chicken was delightfully moist, as were the vegetables that it came with.
As usual Marco was found wandering around checking in to ensure that the service was fantastic; he made an extended stop at our table, discussing what had brought me by for lunch when he has only ever seen me at dinner (I found it astounding that he would even recognize that I had been there before, given I am certainly no regular). He also offered us chilled limoncello, which they made from scratch, positively magnificent - frozen shot glasses to keep it ice cold, it did not hit the palate as strong as you might expect, the cold subdued the alcohol and allowed you to taste the exquisite sweet lemon taste that is often masked by the alcohol.
All in all, a magnificent experience, as usual!
