| - Update to review: Went in last night with a party of 7 to include an out of town guest and an elderly grandmother. That's when we realized the place is really set up well for large groups. We could have had 25 people in the group and it would have worked.
There were two hiccups with the food. Nothing major, just a slight delay on two dishes. We didn't complain at all. This is more of an "Artisan" type restaurant where the meals are hand crafted vs. Assembly line that you would get elsewhere so there has to be a little trade-off. If a chef has to make a number of different dishes, things are bound to not run smoothly. Even though we didn't care, they still apologized SINCERELY each time they updated us, delivered the food and then checked on the food. They really care. Much to our surprise, the owner took items off of the bill for the inconvenience. THIS PLACE CARES. Excellent management, staff, ownership and attitude. Please dine here when you can. Even if you're a little let down they make it up a lot.
First review: This place is amazing. If you're looking for authentic and absolutely delicious Italian fare, come to this place.
It's in a strip mall setting so you don't have to worry about parking. Inside, the seating is plentiful. I normally hate sitting at two-tops or non-booth tables but I wouldn't mind it here. It's laid out very well.
The owner, Dina, was very friendly. Her husband is the chef and he is AMAZING. The server was also really sweet. She was able to describe the food selection very well. When asked about the choice of two different wines, she admitted she wasn't going to fake expertise and insisted on asking for the best answer from I guess the owner or chef. She did right by us.
The mussels were awesome. The sauce was delicious. We also had the bruschetta trio and it blew away Postino's bruschetta and we really love their fare. The entrees were great. We had chicken with pancetta and vegetables and also had their homemade fettuccine with braised beef and mushrooms. Really delicious food. This isn't some kind of hit or miss restaurant. They make their cheesecake in the most amazing fashion.
For the quality of food and desert and service, the pricing was well worth it. We will definitely be back.
Thank you Dina and staff for an absolutely great edperienc
