    We had the opportunity of eating at the wonderful establishment last evening and I was instantly impressed by the decor when we walked in the door. This was accented by the beautifully painted frescoes on a large wall surrounding the seating area. The vibe is current and classic at the same time. I was immediately greeted upon entering by a gracious host that took care of us the complete evening and his service was beyond great - he explained every item asked about on the menu thoroughly, even giving his personal favorites which lead us in some of our decisions. Our first main choice of the evening was Chicken and Shrimp Dama Bianca which came out beatifully fresh mushrooms, green onions, sun dried tomatoes in brandy cream sauce. Our second main choice was Saltimbocca which was Sautéed veal scaloppini, prosciutto and sage in white wine, butter sauce. What made this dish extra special was that little hint of lemon you could taste on the back of you pallet as you were eating the veal. To finish the night we couldn't make up our minds between the Tiramisu and the Italian Cream Cake so we ordered both - they were both absolutely fabulous !!! To top off the night the Owner of the Restaurant walked over to our table during dessert and sat in front of us two drinks of Limoncello "On the House" - said we needed those to have for dessert as well !! We have just found a "New Italian Restaurant Home in Plano" !!!!
