    I rarely use the word outstanding to describe food but I used it several times throughout the night. The menu and specials selections are vast. Our wait staff was attentive and we never wanted for anything. We shared a citrus fennel salad and I had the linguini with scungili made spicy by the addition of Calabrian chili peppers. This was one of the most delicious pasta dishes I’ve ever had. My boyfriend had the double cut pork chop and vegetables and that was also outstanding. We shared a bottle of very good (and reasonably priced wine) and also shared the sorbet special with berries. We will 100% return.

    Nice place to celebrate a special day. The appetizers and desserts were delicious. We had 2 seafood main course Scallops over risotto and Chilean Sea Bass over risotto. Bay scallops were served which if we had known we would not have ordered. The Seabass was $72 and average the risotto was heavy and over buttered. With this all said we really enjoyed our night and would highly recommend.
