Tried this restaurant based on the good reviews and the Asian influenced Italian cuisine sounded interesting. We ordered from the Restaurant Week menu which offered enough choices. We started with the Rice Balls-Arancini, and the Fried Artichokes. We both agreed that the rice balls were the best we’ve ever eaten, and the artichokes were excellent as well. At our attentive server Justin’s suggestion, we ordered the Duck Ragu Rigatoni and Tempura Chicken Parmesan. Both were excellent! We topped it off with a very rich chocolate gelato and the Chocolate Katsu Bread, also excellent and unlike any other chocolate dessert I’ve had. We came straight from a matinee, so it was very quiet when we arrived but was bustling when we left. I will be returning to try some of the other interesting dishes on the menu.
