  • After reading the reviews on this site, I was a little leery about trying this restaurant. However, my friend had a gift certificate for $50 and was looking forward to having a nice Italian meal. We had a 6:30 reservation and was promptly greeted and seated. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable and was patient in answering our questions about the various menu items. For starters we had the artichoke hearts stuffed with seafood drizzled with a Vodka sauce (mmm Yummy!) Just the right amount of garlic but not so much to overpower the delicate seafood mixture. We decided to skip the salad and went straight for our entrees: P had the seafood creps (again, in a Vodka sauce with pistachios.) I opted for the halibut. The halibut presentation looked like a Picasso artwork and the halibut steak was the lightest and flakiest I have ever had in my life. Sauteed in seasoned olive oil and italian bread crumbs with three circles on the side of the plate consisting of pureed green pepper drizzled with red pepper sauce. ( Isabella, owner and chef , cheerfully shared her recipe with me but I don't think it would ever come close to how she prepared this awesome fish) She told us that she purchases most of her produce from local growers as well as her meat. She is a proponent of the "Slow Food Movement" and understands the importance of supporting local growers and businesses. For dessert we shared freshly made 3 cheese cake with mix of fresh berries - it was light and oh so delicious. The homemade Tirmasu -light with perfect layers of sponge cake soaked in coffee liqueur combined with sweet whipped cream, mascarpone cheese, coffee, cinnamon and cocoa powder was also divine The wine list was small but original (not your typical run of the mill or popular California wines) and the cappuccino was excellent. Service was not too slow nor rushed. The menu also has a couple of gluten free dishes The only slight negative was the bus person who seemed to have an ongoing tiff with our waiter. This was more amusing than anything else. Most of the tables are rather close together which is probably not conducive to a confidential conversation. A couple of the tables at the entrance seemed a little more private. However, we met some very nice and interesting fellow diners which made our dining experience even more special. Isabella occasionally makes homemade cookies and instead of mints with our bill we got to sample her chocolate almond cookies that she had made fresh that afternoon. I am sorry that some of the Yelpers had a bad experience here in the past because the experience we had was totally opposite Perhaps Isabella read their reviews and decided to make some changes???) Anyway, we defintiely will be back to try some of their other tempting dishes and to chat with Isabella again. Ciao!
