I've been looking and longing for an incredible Italian restaurant for over six years of living off and on in the valley. This is it. I'll repeat, this is it.
The linguine with clams is nothing short of amazing. The sauce is light and not overpowering. I got the white sauce. The only way clams should be served in my humble opinion.
Caprese salad. Let's just back up a second and talk about the components. What makes a good caprese? I'll tell you what. The balsamic vinegar. I could bathe in that sweet syrupy delight of what most Americans will never know unless they go abroad to Italy and do a tasting or they happen to work in the restaurant industry. Absolutely incredible. The cheese was and is incredible. There is a creaminess to this mozzarella that possess just the right hint of salt. No pucker like you find in some rushed mozzarellas. My only suggestion would be heartier tomatoes. As this is the season for good Romas and beefsteaks.
I will be back. And I'm coming for the veal. Be warned and thank you. I'm shaking my head with a tear in my eye.
