    From start to finish everything was delicious! My absolute favorite appetizer is the calamari, always have to order extra because everyone fights over it! The fried zucchini chips are perfectly crisp and we enjoyed the zucchini flower appetizer special which was equally delicious! The meatballs were spectacular as always. When it came to the dinner we all had a hard time choosing our entrees because the variety of options were better than the next so we decided on getting all different options to enjoy. The short ribs were tender and juicy a perfect treat on a cold evening accompanied by a wonderful Pinot noir. The branzino was cooked to perfection , light and fresh especially after all the amazing appetizers it was a perfect dinner option! We also thoroughly enjoyed the linguine vongole, a phenomenal classic chicken parmesan and squash ravioli. Although we were quite full, we couldn’t resist the desert menu particularly the churros and irresistible banana bread pudding! We can’t wait to return to this family favorite restaurant! Well worth the trek from Westchester New York !
