    The calamari was perfect especially the sauce! Veal Napoleon was divine,truffle reduction was complex and delicious. Linguine Sinatra was a treat for the eye but somewhat less to the taste,something was missing? Italian Cheesecake was amazing! Tito's Martini was perfect with huge,crunchy olives and cold,cold,cold! Will highly recommend to others. Thank you for a memorable Thanksgiving dinner.

    We haven't been here in quite some time, and saw the menu had been updated, so decided to try it out. We sat at the chefs table and got to watch the behind the scenes cooking. Everything that came out of the kitchen was meticulously plated. Everything looked beautiful! We started with the “Salatim” and the Shishito. For our entrees we had the Schnitzel and the Squash. Everything was excellent! My husband usually gets steak, but seeing Schnitzel after schnitzel come out of the kitchen, he wanted to give it a try. He said it was the best chicken he has ever had. My Squash (vegan option) was delicious! We will definitely be back soon!
