When we first arrived we were greeted with warm hearts at this trendy up and coming Italian restaurant. As soon as we sat they gave us bread, breadsticks, olive oil, balsamic vinager and a sample of the there house Pinot Grigio that was excellent. It had a crisp taste and helped cool us off from the hot humid weather we were having. They also had some homemade crisps one of rice, potato and another that I don't recall. These were great. We ordered the cheese platter for starters and it was good. The olive bread that they served on the side was good as well but didn't have much flavor. The olive oil they served at the table was a little bland and given the pricing I would have expected better quality. On to the main course which we had was trofie al pesto. The flavor of the pasta was excellent and cooked just right "aldente". There could have been a little more garlic flavor for my taste but I am garlic lover. I did like the twist of the added string beans and chunks of potato. I thought the potato chunks took away from the flavor of the pesto a
Intel but like I said I am a garlic fan. The wine we had which was a house Pinot Grigio was great. After dinner I had a sauvagion ice wine for dessert. We were also provided with an option of lemoncello or grappa as compliments of the house. I had he grappa and it had a nice bite with a very smooth finish. This was a nice touch to finish off the meal.
Overall we enjoyed our experience here as well as the beautiful white table cloth ambiance. The staff was extra friendly and attentive to our needs. I would go back again to try some of their other dishes as this place has me interested. I would rate the ambiance a 4 stars and the food 3 with some room for improvement. read more
