                                                  Wait staff seated us immediately and menus were provided. We loved the wild mushroom soup special which was creamy and very savory. Tre colore salad was wonderful and dressed perfectly. Our calamari was too heavily breaded and a tad overdone. The marinara, that accompanied the calamari, was bright and flavorful, although I like it spicy so I added some hot pepper flakes. I really enjoyed my scallops, Sicilian style, with capers and olives in a white wine sauce. My request for spinach instead of pasta was immediately granted. I truly appreciated that. My husband felt the rack of lamb was just okay. The cappuccino gelato had a strange texture, kind of gummy like it was dried out. The chocolate gelato texture was fine and had a nice flavor.

The presentation is flawless as well. The service is equally amazing. The servers are attentive, knowledgeable and kind. The atmosphere is cozy but elegant. We are officially on our way to being regulars here.
