| - The only reason why I am giving this place 4 stars is because I could have slapped the hostess. Once again, I was put in the back with the loudest birthday party group possible because why? You guessed it, I had a baby. This irritates me beyond belief! From now on, I'm going to be a jerk about it.
Anyway, to the important stuff. Despite the issue to the group next to us, the service and food were excellent! Melanie was our server and she did an outstanding job! My glass was never empty, I never had to ask for more drink, she kept the table clear of empty dishes, paid attention to details in our order, and always had a smile on her face. Why can't there be more servers like her??
The overall aesthetics of the place were very nice. It had Doric and ionic pillars for decorations, Italian themed paintings on the wall, and the lighting was just right. Not too bright, not too dim.
My husband and I started off with the calamari. Even though it could have used a little bit more flavor, it was still very good. The horse radish sauce and marinara sauce were excellent choices to go along with the appetizer. Alongside the appetizer, a small loaf of precut bread (I think it had a little bit of rosemary in it) and this dipping sauce that was out of this world. I'm not a tomato fan, but this was great! It was an olive oil base dip that had sun dried tomatoes, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and a few other things in it. I couldn't stop eating it!
Caesar salad came next, I love it when restaurants put your salad on a chilled plate. The salad was very good and not too much as well. They had homemade croutons in the salad that tasted like they had parmesan cheese in it along with other flavors. They also didn't just give you a plate with a few leaves and all stalks. That was very nice.
For our main course, I had the Chicken Scallopini. It was 2 chicken breast fillets lightly sautéed in olive oil topped with feta cheese, portobello mushroom, another kind of cheese, and a lemon, caper butter sauce. It was served with linguini on the side. Minus the too many capers, it was fantastic! I thought my chicken would be dry, but it was very juicy and full of flavor. My husband got the Frutta di Mare. This thing was loaded with mussels and clams on the half shell. From what I saw, the seafood was on top of a bed of fettuccini and marinara sauce. He could not stop raving about it, so I am going to guess he liked his meal.
For dessert, I got crème brulee and my husband got the chocolate chip bread pudding. FINALLY a restaurant that had crème brulee that isn't a 5 star restaurant. Nobody serves it anymore. Of course, I loved every minute of it, and so did my daughter. I think she ended up eating half of it! My husband was in love with his bread pudding. I'd never had a bread pudding with chocolate chips in it. It was quite tasty.
