    A favorite of ours. Pretty much every serving is top notch. Pasta dishes and the desserts last night were over top. Cool place and always will go if we are in this area. Stacks up against any of finest places we have been.

    All the usual menu items were delicious, as usual, and we tried the squid ink spaghetti for the first time, which was great! However, the Korean BBQ special was disappointing.
