| - Went here with the family for a weeknight dinner, crowd wasn't too bad. There didn't seem to be that many tables, but considering it's a small restaurant, I guess that's okay. For a family owned business, I think it's solid.
Decor seemed very nice, wasn't overdone. Main menu is not overwhelming, just four different pages for appetizers, salads, pizza, pasta and chef entrees. Appreciated that most of these dishes had mainly English names. As much as I love Italian food, I can't pronounce most of my favorite dishes!
Let's break it down by courses. For appetizers, we got the bruschetta and calamari. Calamari was crisp and light, not drenched in oil like other places can do. The cajun sauce was well too. As for the bruschetta, they didn't skimp out on the toppings at all! I felt like it was a monster of a piece, with tomatoes falling off mid-bite. Might be a bit messy, but I liked it!
Did I mention the free bread. Pretty sure we got some pesto butter, and three varieties of bread that were foccacia, wheat, and white.
I ordered a side salad with my main dish. Wide variety of dressings, but I decided to change my traditional balsamic to their apple cider vinegarette. I will say it's VERY sweet just like the drink, so I was glad they kept the dressing on the side. Interesting take I haven't seen yet.
My main course was the Veal Piccata. Warning, I found their portions to be VERY BIG. The veal was cooked nicely, sauce wasn't overwhelming. The side of spaghetti was cooked decently, though it felt like it was something I could've done at home. The roasted vegetables looked fine, but I didn't have enough room to finish my meal,
I think the prices were justified, about $100 for the family of four, with an ice tea and beer included. Staff was friendly, food was good. Not sure if I'd come back here, but I didn't regret it.
