I went in with HIGH expectations as I'm a Joe Bastianich fan. Have a meal here! Wow! From the first appetizer to the finishing cookie plate sent by the chef, this was amazing. I'm especially critical of Italian restaurants bc I used to cook with old Italian ladies who knew their stuff. The osso bucco melted in your mouth and the pork ravioli gave you a hug from the inside out. Their version of an old fashioned could turn me into a kush--so amazing! The deconstructed tiramisu also changed my attitude about this dessert. Wow! Then we had this plate of small cookies that ended with an apple cider gelee that blew my mind. The thoughtfulness in how these were arranged built flavors upon flavors that left me full and wanting more. The service was impeccable! Me and my sis were treated like royalty! It wasn't stuffy as all the staff knew their food!
