Since this restaurant is across the street from my health club, I was curious about what it had to offer. I believe I had read some reviews early on that were not too complimentary. However, since it was close to where we live, we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed.
We made a reservation for 6:30 on a Friday night. We were seated immediately. Our waiter, Jose, was excellent from start to finish. My wife had the strip steak and I had the trout Livornese. Both came with linguine with oil and garlic. Both dishes were excellent. My wife and I are originally from a New York City suburb and I can only say that the oil and garlic on this pasta was the best I have ever tasted and was certainly equal to and probably better than anything we have eaten in New York City. This chef knows how to properly season dishes and it shows. Even though prices were a little on the high side for Italian food and it got a little noisy toward the end of the meal, it was well worth it.
