From the minute, my family and I entered the restaurant, we were impressed with the cozy ambiance. For appetizers, we ordered Caprese Salad (garden fresh tomatoes what a taste) and Cambri di Nostra (huge shrimp in a light lemon basil sauce with sun dried tomatoes). The server came out with a type of bread, I have never in my life seen before! It looked like a large size party balloon! Of course, when the bread was punctured, it deflated down to the size of a flat bread. Very cool! Perfect for dipping into the lemon basil sauce. We ordered Veal and Shrimp, Chicken Parmigiana, and Traditional Vodka 24, but in reality, we were stealing forkfuls of food from each others plate. Portions were large! Flavors were different, delicious and exotic. Have we had this type of food before…Hmmm we are all Italian, so the answer is “hell yes”…many times! So what makes this restaurant’s food any different? Easy…presentation, portion size, but most importantly, the taste! Everything was cooked perfectly…no undercooked or overcooked. Seriously perfect! Even the pasta texture! Most importantly, what’s the tomato sauce (Sorry, for the folks who think it it is called gravy because gravy is brown and goes on meat ha ha). You will taste no bitterness whatsoever in this sauce! A true marinara! They have discovered the secret of what makes this food stand out and that is the balance of using the correct herbs and spices. Many people can cook, but using the right seasoning in the right combinations and amounts to get the desired results…uhhhh NOOO!
Of course, save room for dessert! You have to because they are all homemade! Chocolate Chip Cannoli, Fried Zeppolis with Chocolate Nutella Sauce, Tiramisu, Limoncello Cake, Chocolate Cake and Oreo Cheesecake. I will definitely be returning in the very near future.
The Owner and Staff will not disappoint you because their willingness to please is refreshing.
One last thing, the noise level is quite different than others you have experienced. Why? There is more eating than talking!
I and not related to the owner!
I promise you will not be disappointed!
Mangia!!!
