| - Located inside the Tropicana we found this Italian gem !
We had reservations and were seated inside at a small table at the window with wall right behind our chairs, After a minute we realized this was not going to work, as we both felt pinned in. The hostess was very accommodating in letting us move to a table for 4.
We both ordered a glass of red from the limited wine menu. Bread with oil and balsamic arrived and it was nice, but found the bowls you had to pour from awkward.
We ordered the heirloom tomatoes salad with buffalo mozzarella and 1 leaf of Basil. It was very tasty however the chef really should do a view of the dishes before leaving the kitchen as one of the salads had the most wilted and brown leaf of basil on the plate and considering you only get 1 leaf it's disappointing. Basil Is not that expensive, here's an idea......possibly add more to go with the salad, and of course, some quality control would certainly be appreciated.
Ordered the Veal Marsala with the side of fresh spinach, as most entrees (other than pasta are a la carte). Both were outstanding, and the Chicken Piccata was moist and delicious.
It is great looking menu and hard to choose what to order, the pasta looked good, so the nightly special of ossa buco sounded wonderful...... the atmosphere is a little "stuffy", it looks like a fun place, I want it to be a fun place, but just needs some FUN......a little to quite for my liking.
Found it kind of odd as we were leaving that the whole front patio was empty and they seated everyone inside.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The server was very attentive and in the area again, will certainly visit to try something else.
