Had a fun lowkey evening with a friend. We could have happily ordered a dinner of all appetizers if the pizza didn't sound so good. We got the appetizer trio and the burrata for starters and the truffle bianche pizza (no pic) and ended with some classic tiramisu. I enjoyed wine with our dinner and my friend got a wonderful specialty fall spritz. The most disappointing bite was the stuffed squash blossoms, I was just expecting more than it was. It was bland with way too much coating. I think the burrata with Prosciutto was the best bite. It wasn't overly salty and just tasted fresh and creamy. I would definitely go back, there's so many other items on the menu I would try.

Had an awesome for experience at the melting pot for Veterans Day. Our waitress said this was her first shift working but she gave us a very welcoming and descriptive experience. My favorite parts were the strawberry salad and the turtle chocolate fondue from their 4 course meal.
