| - Magnifico!
My boyfriend and I went there for dinner Friday night... We live in the area and have seen the sign, so we decided to check it out.
It's located in a non-descript strip mall on 40th Street and Thunderbird. Certainly not a fancy shopping center, so you wouldn't expect a whole lot, but BOY OH BOY! You're in for a treat!
Once you walk in the front doors, you feel like you are in an upper scale lounge. The decor hits you immediately-- it's has a very upper crust, elegant feel. The dining room is very elegant, as well, with linen table cloths and napkins, candles, and single red roses.
They have a small, but nice size wine list.
The menu is very impressive with it's choices.
They served a very nice hot bread with herb butter which was delicious. The dinner salads were wonderful, albeit just a 'titch' too much dressing. My boyfriend had the Lasagne and I hit the jackpot with the Pollo Roma Garden. It's a delectable flavored chicken breast topped with the thinnest slice of eggplant and covered with mozzerella cheese and a Tarragon Cream Sauce... Ooohhh. Mmmmm. Geeeeeee..... To die for, peeps!!!
It was served with a side of penne in a lemon caper sauce.
I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I couldn't try any of the BF's dish, but it smelled like pure heaven.
Besides the excellent food, the service was extraordinary!! Our waiter was super polite, helpful, as well as the other staffers who filled our waters and brought us bread.
The restaurant was very cozy, very warm, very delicious... and very much our new favorite Italian restaurant.
