Americano really is a hidden gem, which I only discovered recently. I've been there twice now and the food was outstanding each time. The menu is mouthwatering and innovative -- the clay pot baked shrimp and crispy calamari are fantastic appetizers, and the fancy chicken mac n cheese and duck breast are great mains. Americano has an ambiance you don't come across often these days -- situated on the ground floor of a luxury apartment complex, the dining room has an old-fashioned feel to it, no music playing, just the sound of diners chatting quietly. This isn't a good place to bring kids; many of the diners seem to be older couples who live in these complexes. Americano is the perfect place for a classy, leisurely meal and dinner conversation, followed by a stroll down to the lake. 4 stars instead of 5 because the service varied -- we had a fantastic waiter the first time, but the second time we had a gum-chewing waiter who neglected to tell us the evening's specials and looked like he didn't want to be there.
