Delicious!! Bravo .. we went last night for our New Years Eve dinner. I was apprehensive due to the poor reviews but my boyfriend kept telling me how great it is. He was right! We enjoyed every morsel. We started with their deliciously fresh caprese salad,big slabs of vine ripe tomatoes, huge garden basil leaves, with a thick cold rich buffalo mozzarella cheese topped with the most amazing tangy YUMMY DENSE balsamic vinegar ! .. most restaurants use balsamic straight from the bottle, not this place the caprese was straight from little Italy in New York. We also shared sausage purses, these were great start ups; stuffed pasta treasures that looked like loot bags. Each was filled with a SCRUMPTOUS Treasure inside ...HOMEMADE italian sausage. We took each morsel and dipped it into rich marinara sauce. I was feeling very HAPPY about our selections...... \r
Then came our FABOULOUS dinners, my boyfriend ordered Chicken Marsala and I ordered Shrimp & Scallops Alla Panna both had DELICIOUS sauces!! I have never seen my boyfriend eat a meal so quickly!! He was oohing and awwing the entire time, and my meal? Well, it was amazing, with a white cream sauce that was delictable. \r
The scallops and shrimp were plentiful and so delicatly cooked that we could taste the white wine and butter. \r
I wanted to take my huge plate of left overs with us but since it was New Years Eve, I left them behind. I want to POINT OUT that while I was there, I met Nick & Debbie the owners, they were both FRIENDLY & ATTENTIVE. They have OWNED THE RESTAURANT FOR 14 YEARS! That is a statement in itself. Also, our bartender, I will call him ""Lil Nick"", he was A Very OPEN & personable GIVING US GOOD SERVICE. I asked him about the some of the reviews and he noted that they had at times had some bad staff but that they were now happy with their Team. He POINTED OUT THAT MOST OF THEIR CLIENTELE ARE REPEAT CUSTOMERS. Which we found out because it seemed like they knew everyone in the place and IT WAS PACKED WITH REPEAT CUSTOMERS. I KNOW I WILL BECOME A REGULAR.
