| - It's been awhile since I have returned to dine here, but I am glad to see that Carmella is still in the kitchen and Lauren is still out front.
The classics are still on the menu, homemade pasta, Pork Osso Bucco, scallops,etc. But there are also some new seafood items and specials.
Keep in mind that Carmella has a limited kitchen staff and she serves meals in the true Italian style, in English this means slowly. This isn't Olive Garden, this is a place where you come for the evening, sip some wine and talk to each other. What is your hurry? Yeah, they sometimes seem disorganized, but it all comes together in the end--more proof that Carmella is a real Italian.
The atmosphere is cozy and dim--save for the obnoxious flat screen TV in the bar area. Must every bar have a TV?
If you want a relaxing and unhurried dining experience, then this is your place. And you must have a cannoli and Limoncello for desert, both are homemade and out of this world.
