. "1"^^ . "Had a great first time here. Let's just say I will be back for sure. \n\nThe concept, the atmosphere, the ambiance, the food and the service was great. The whole package of everything and especially for only open less than 3 months was great.\n\nWe had a table of 7 with 2 kids so there was a special person that had to handle us lol and that was Kendra. Seriously hats off to her. More to come. \n\nWe started with the bread for the table and the accompanying spreads were fantastic. The bread was good, fresh, and the display was nicely done. Check my pics. We ordered the FRITTO MISTO calamari, rock shrimp, herbs, vegetables appetizer to share and it didn't need any sauce to dip it in, just the lemon top and it was so excellent. Perfectly cooked and not to heavy breading.\n\nThe meals we had were:\nCHICKEN IN POTACCHIO with fennel\nTORCHIO which was my dish and absolutely fantastic. I asked Kendra about it and she said it was good and she was right.\nGRILLED SCOLLIPINE OF BEEF SHORT RIB with calabrian chili glaze, charred zucchini, arugula\nBLACK CAMPANELLE clams, fresno chilis, bottarga breadcrumbs and the pasta was dyed with squid ink\nFETTUCCINE\n\nI tried every dish from all the plates and I would order everyone again. Fantastic!!!!\n\nDessert came and we had the salted caramel budina that had gianduja crumble, sea salt, fresh whipped cream and apple crostata with oats, cranberries, warm apple compote, caramel mascarpone, toasted almond gelato\n\nLet's talk about Kendra. She was fantastic. She took care of us made recommendations, was personable, checked in with the kids, took care of our drinks nicely and really made a good impression. Her spunkiness with her blue hair out of that fun vibe and really delivered. She was smiling the whole time and actually enjoyed working there and even said she loved it when we asked. I will ask for her again. \n\nThis is my style of restaurant the way everything is put together and I enjoyed it thoroughly."^^ . "2017-04-24T00:00:00"^^ . . "3"^^ . "5"^^ . "5"^^ . .
