I'm not the one to do Yelp reviews, but when a restaurant stands out this much, I figured I must! First time visiting North Carolina, originally from Texas! Had a horrible eating experience in Lexington. Came towards Cornelius and, WOW! I was kindly greeted by the owner at the bar. Then seated by Tarra, the wife of the chef and daughter in law of the owner. Welcomed by a dinner menu, and wine list upon my request. Picked out a great red desert wine. I ended up ordering the Vitello Marsala which is Pan seared Veal scaloppini mixed with mushroom Marsala wine sauce! This was the real star of the show! Not to downplay the service, because it was top notch! But the flavors infused in the plate by the chef Joe was insane! Also paired with the meal was a sweet desert wine. For desert was a delicious Cinnamon Toast Crunch cheesecake! All around the place to visit if you're into Italian. You will however not find your typical chicken parm or anything like that. Don't worry, it was well worth it to venture to this establishment!
