Decided to have dinner there on Christmas Eve. The two of us shared a Caesar salad which provided us each with several good bites of salad. We ordered the seafood risotto with scallops and prawns topped with pistachios. We also ordered the penne with a pesto cream sauce mixed with chicken and prawns. Bread was served as well. All of the food was tasty with a nice portion size. We ended the meal with chocolate cannolis- good chocolate flavor with a nice crispy shell. A complimentary glass of limoncello was a perfect end to this delicious meal.

We were a party of 4. All ordered different entrees and every entree was excellent. Our waiter was a very nice lady who really understood service and was able to help us make the best selections. Prices were fair and overall we will return in the future.

We arrived to find the restaurant closed. Open Table should have alerted us to this. The adjacent Chinese restaurant was closed, too. Apparently, there had been a kitchen fire in the Chinese restaurant several days earlier. There was a sign on their door indicating that it was unsafe to enter, water damage, etc. We were left to locate another place to dine on short notice and no reservation.

The risotto di mare was fabulous, best risotto I’ve had since my trip to Venice. Maybe it’s just me, but the chocolate tiramisu had an odd taste and aftertaste to it.
