GREAT Food! GREAT Service!
Have been here before and have always enjoyed our experience. Figured I might as well Yelp about this time.
Had Dinner last night... it was pretty empty ... 3 other tables were sat when we got there... of course, one table did have 10 people at it.
Ambience: Quiet (unless there's a party of 10 whooping it up next to you)... can be Romantic / Intimate with the low lighting...white table cloths and stealthy servers
Not Fancy... but Not Casual...
We had brought our own bottle of Prosecco to enjoy at the beginning of the meal and to toast my Mom's b-day. I think the corkage fee was $15.
They immediately brought out Chilled Flutes and a bucket filled with ice to keep our wine cold....and they continued to refill our glasses til the wine was gone. :)
We ordered the Bruschetta to start....
Pretty good... because the tomatoes were juicy... the bread got soggy. Not the best Bruschetta I've ever had but it was good... give it 3 stars.
My mom and I split the Arugula salad (with goat cheese, pear slivers and candied pecans and a light champagne vinigarette).
5 stars
Perfect portion to split as we wanted a salad but didn't want a BIG salad to start. Very tasty... fresh arugula and the the goat cheese was melt in your mouth perfect.
I ordered the Special Stuffed Veal Chop... WOW! WOW! WOW!
5 stars!
It was D-LISH! And the veal chop was HUGE. I didn't finish it... took half home. It was served with parmesan risotto of which... I took 1/2 of that home too.
The chop was stuffed with parm, broccoli rabe, italian sausage and served in their Marsala sauce... SO GOOD!
Mom ordered the Crab Stuffed Salmon which was served on a bed of rice pilaf, sliced carrots and zucchini. I got a taste of hers and it was Very Good... but I liked my stuffed Veal Chop better.
I'd give hers 4.5 stars because I liked mine better.
The husband ordered the Special Pappardelle pasta with Filet Mignon and Shittake mushrooms in a Creamy Marsala sauce. I got a taste of this too... WOW!
Definitely 5 stars!
It was rich and so much flavor. The shittake really added another dimension to the dish... of flavor and depth. I really liked his but was enjoying my veal so much that I didn't switch with him... although... I thought about it. Sadly, he ate ALL of his dinner so I don't get his leftovers.
Because it was Mom's b-day... they brought out Tiramisu.
YUMMMMM!
5 stars
Light... Creamy.... Rich.
Not overly soaked in coffee ... and Not overly sugar-y....
One of the best Tiramisu's I've had. My favorite is still the one at Celini's in New York but this one makes top 5.
Will I go back? YES!
