    For over 40 years , my wife and I have celebrated our anniversary with good friends who were married 2 days apart from us. Many of the restaurants have come and gone (Deux Cheminee, La Camargue, Coventry Forge Inn, Vickers, etc). Sadly, our friend’s husband is gone, too, and for the last few years we have celebrated as a party of 3. Our table by a window had soft lighting. Service was attentive, but not overly so. The chef was kind to agree to substitute broccoli rabe for artichoke purée as a base for the Day Scallops, and to add anchovies to my awesome Caesar salad. My wife’s branzino was fabulous, as was my Barolo short rib. A caramel crunch brownie shared by 3 was the finishing touch. Savona, a cut above!
